Bug#561895: release-notes: Needs to state that X doesn't correctly detect all monitors
Package: release-notes
Severity: important
When this happens the resolution is lower than possible and there are some
programs which won't scroll to compensate making them unusable. The solution
is to make manual entries in xorg.conf or use a program (I don't know if there
is one in debian - new to the distro) which allows selecting the video card
and monitor brand then applying settings for them to xorg.conf.
I'm not trying to compare debian to other distributions but an example of this
is is the SuSE 11.2 release notes (I abandoned SuSE 11.2 because of additional
video problems and KDE 4).
