I've not seen that for years ... your display is supposed to return the best (native) display resolution first in its EDID data response.
Here its second or third, depending on the refresh rate you want. That used to be a common bug in early flat panel displays.

We need to write a modeline and tell Xorg to use it.
Writing the modeline is easy, its almost a copy/paste from the above.

Code:
Modeline "5120x1440x70.3"  549.75  5120 5168 5200 5280  1440 1443 1453 1481 +hsync -vsync
Modeline "5120x1440x60.0"  469.00  5120 5168 5200 5280  1440 1443 1453 1481 +hsync -vsync



That goes into a xorg.conf.d fragment. Lets call it widescreen.conf
widescreen.conf contains.
Code:
   Section "Monitor"
      Identifier "widescreen"
      Modeline "5120x1440x70.3"  549.75  5120 5168 5200 5280  1440 1443 1453 1481 +hsync -vsyn  c
      Modeline "5120x1440x60.0"  469.00  5120 5168 5200 5280  1440 1443 1453 1481 +hsync -vsync
   EndSection


That makes the two modelines available for the monitor called widescreen. Now one of them needs to be used, so we need a Screen section.

Code:
   Section "Screen"
      Identifier "fix resolution bug"
         Monitor    "widescreen"
            SubSection "Display"
               Modes "5120x1440x60.0"
            EndSubSection
   EndSection


Both those sections go into /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/widescreen.conf
All the gory detail is in
Code:
man xorg.conf


Currently, the automatics are doing their thing, and getting it wrong.
Code:
[    16.516] (==) Using system config directory "/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d"
[    16.517] (==) No Layout section.  Using the first Screen section.
[    16.517] (==) No screen section available. Using defaults.
[    16.517] (**) |-->Screen "Default Screen Section" (0)
[    16.517] (**) |   |-->Monitor "<default monitor>"
[    16.517] (==) No monitor specified for screen "Default Screen Section".
        Using a default monitor configuration.
[    16.517] (==) Automatically adding devices
[    16.517] (==) Automatically enabling devices
[    16.517] (==) Automatically adding GPU devices
[    16.517] (==) Automatically binding GPU devices


Those two sections in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/widescreen.conf will override the defaults.
"5120x1440x60.0" will be safe. Every display can do 60Hz. I suspect that your screen can do 70.3Hz vertical refresh too, or it shouldn't really advertise it.

We can check the specs if you share the make and model.

That should get you going at your native display resolution. Its been a long time since I've needed to do this though.

Hi NeddySeagoon,

I've not been near to this computer to try the xorg config out. I was able to set the resolution via kde and things seemed to work ok.

Thank you for your help.
