BinaryDriverHowto - Community Ubuntu Documentation
Saved by uncleflo on March 9th, 2012.
This guide and its subpages describe how to install the proprietary binary/restricted drivers provided by video card manufacturers. Please note There are two types of drivers that we can use: Open Source and Proprietary drivers. Open Source drivers have been created by the Linux community to function with certain video cards, and most video cards have an Open Source driver available. In addition, older hardware is typically better supported by Open Source drivers. In some cases, there is no proprietary driver for the graphics card (such as non-HD Radeons) and installing such a driver will only stop the Open Source driver from functioning correctly.

Xorg.conf and incorrect resolution detection
Saved by uncleflo on March 9th, 2012.
With the release of Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic) xorg.conf was left largely redundant, at least, that was the theory. Something called EDID can be used for detecting a monitor's display capabilities, but it doesn't always work. This is usually down to monitor issues, or the video cable connected to it. If the EDID data cannot get through to the graphics adapter, then the graphics adapter knows nothing! For some reason Intel cards seem to be particularly prone to dodgy display detection, and my examples here will reflect that.
