            Bug ID: 325275
           Summary: Display Configuration doesn't allow manual resolution
                    configuration when autodetection has got it wrong.
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: systemsettings
           Version: 4.11.0
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: NOR
         Component: kcm_randr
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org

My 2nd monitor is a 1600x1200 at 60 screen (connected via VGA).

When I plug it in, krandr only offers resolutions up to 1024x768, and doesn't
offer 1600x1200.
Xrandr has failed to auto-detect it, and must be overridden as follows:
  xrandr --addmode VGA1 1600x1200
  xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1600x1200
After this, krandr offers the 1600x1200 choice.

So....

1. Please add a "manually specify resolution" option to krandr  in the list of
choices.

2. Please add some help text, that at least informs the user:
 - that auto-detection can sometimes fail.
 - that it is possible to specify a resolution that isn't in the list
 - that xrandr is the way to do it.

Thanks
