Bug#377847: xserver-xorg-video-nv: No way to set 1600x1200 resolution.
Package: xserver-xorg-video-nv
Version: 1:1.0.1.5-2
Severity: normal
Using nv driver it's impossible to set monitor native 1600x1200
resolution while proprietary nvidia driver has no trouble to set
it. Most relevant line from the Xorg.log:
(II) NV(0): Mode "1600x1200" is larger than BIOS programmed panel sizeof 1280 x 1024. Removing.
Actual monitor connected is ViewSonic VP201b with 1600x1200 native resolution.
Some additional information gathered by means of other tools:
