[GRLUG] Some pixel stuff.

"the Nexus 10 was released with a 10.1-inch, 2560×1600 pixel display"

If true, one wonders what Samsung
might be able to do with a 30" screen
today.

Moving along, my desktop, an HP
Pavilion a6750f, contains an ATI
Radeon HD 3200 display card.  On
a monitor capable of 2560x1600, I'm
currently using the VGA output of the
card to get 2048 x 1280.  Not chopped
liver, but also not the 2560x1600 DVI
mode I'm looking for.

So,  as far as I can tell, the card can
handle 2560 x 1600.  And when I look
at the display settings - Kubuntu 12.04 -
they are set for that.  But when I switch
to the "display info" output of the monitor,
it shows 960 x 1200 - in that order.

Someone is misinformed.  And the text
on the digital display is ragged and shows
color - some kind of phasing issue? But
that shouldn't happen in digital mode....

I can back off the size in the "Display and
Monitor" area of the System Settings menu,
and at some point the text looks OK, but the
screen resolution is back down to 1280 x 800,
or thereabouts.

In all cases, the images appear fine in
the digital mode.

Suggestions?
