I just got a new nvidia graphics card that works fine at 1440x900 under window (dual boot setup). Unfortunately, my monitor is not recognized by ubuntu. Here is my xrandr -q output
Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 1360 x 768, maximum 16384 x 16384

v: height 900 start 903 end 909 total 934 clock 59.9Hz
I manage to add the desired resolution (1440x900) but when I do
xrandr --output DVI-D-0 --mode 1440x900_60.00
I get
xrandr: cannot find mode 1440x900_60.00
