Bug Description

On a 13" Macbook Pro 5.5 using the Mini Display Port to DVI Adaptor going to a Samsung SyncMaster 2494HM I can't get the default resolution to run on the external monitor which is 1920x1080.

Nvidia will only detect up to 1680x1050.

I have tried the 185 and 190 drivers with no success also writing in my own resolution in xorg.conf still with no success.

Option "metamodes" "DFP-0: nvidia-auto-select +0+0, DFP-1: 1920x1080 +0+0"

I know about Nvidia drivers, but I hope there will be something that Ubuntu can possibly do to get these working for external monitors on Macbook Pros.

Following the Ubuntu Wiki:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro5-5/Karmic?highlight=%28%28MacBookPro%29%29

I also tried in xorg.conf: Option "NoEDID" "True" with no success either...

This bug report was filed against an old version of Ubuntu.
Can you confirm whether this is still an issue in natty?

If you don't mind, it would be very helpful if you could update the bug
report in launchpad to 'Fix Released' if it is no longer an issue for
you, or if it is still occurring under natty, please tag the bug 'natty'
so it's easier for us to track.
