How to detect and configure an output with xrandr? – Ask Ubuntu

I have a DELL U2410 monitor connected to a Compaq 100B desktop equipped with an integrated AMD/ATI graphics card (AMD E-350). The installed O/S is Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.

The computer is connected to the monitor via the DVI connection.

The problem is that I cannot set the desktop resolution to the native 1920×1200. The maximum allowed resolution is 1600×1200.

Doing some research I found about the xrandr utility. Unfortunately, when trying to use it I cannot configure it to the required resolution. First, it does not report the output name (which supposed to be DVI-0), saying default instead. Without it I cannot use the --fb option.

The EDID utility seems to identify the monitor well. Here’s the output from get-edid:
