I just got a ‘new’ screen a few days ago. It is sporting a resolution of 1920×1200 pixels. Woah!
I had a bit of trouble getting the right resolution options from the NVIDIA X Server Settings program, but a bit of googleing turned up a solution. I just had to add the frequencies of the monitor to the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file as described here. The frequencies of the monitor turned up nicely after just googleing the name of the monitor, and now I get to choose just the resolutions I like.
I also finally caved and downgraded from Amarok 2 to Amarok 1.4 as described here – although it seems better to use this updated ppa instead:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/bogdanb/amarok14/ubuntu jaunty main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/bogdanb/amarok14/ubuntu jaunty main
Amarok 2 just seems to miss the last polish, and Amarok 1.4 is still my all time favourite music player.
Thanks for the linkback Soren. Glad the fix worked well for you. Happy hi-res computing!

He, we are working hard on that! I actually think that 2.1.1 is good, at least compared to 2.0.2. The upcoming 2.2 will hopefully get a lot of users like you back on the Amarok 2 train! :-)
@ Peter: Thanks!
@ Nikolaj: Be sure that I will be looking into the new Amarok releases from time to time to see if I can get to like them better. Keep up the good work.I know a lot of hard work is going into Amarok, and I sure do appreciate that!
