This is all happening on a stock 2.6.38-10 kernel from natty. I tried the patched 3.0.0 kernel from sarvatt's page and get a crasher instead.
This doesn't work for me (assuming you meant video=VGA-1:1440x900). Are you using xorg-edgers? What does your xorg.conf look like? What else is on your boot parameter line? I want 1280 so badly I could scream! Also Im surprised VGA-1 is what you used I was tryiing LVDS1 and LVDS-1....
Update 1: I ppa-purged xorg-edgers and stripped down my xorg.conf and I still only get a blank screen. I can't figure out how you did this!
Update 2: Koadman, what is your display model?
Code:
sudo aptitude install read-edid
sudo get-edid 2>/dev/null|strings -5
Mine is:
Code:
LP133WP1-TJA3
Color LCD
(which is a LG/Philips product code; also I have the SM128C SSD.)
