I am using Ubuntu 12.4, without a file .xinitrc. The xrandr commands:

xrandr --newmode "1920x1080_60.00" 149.82 1920 1960 2000 2040 1200 1208 1216
1224  +HSync -Vsync
xrandr --addmode DVI-D-1 1920x1080_60.00

have been put in a shell script. This script was added to the startup
application in the system menu (power symbol at right side top, Startup
Applications ...).

Reboot and enjoy the wanted resolution.

I did not find a way to configure the resolution from the xorg.config file,
that seems to me still either an error on my side or a bug. The following
xorg.config seems not to work:

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier     "Monitor0"
    VendorName     "Philips"
    ModelName      "Brilliance 240S"
    HorizSync       20.0 - 50.0
    VertRefresh     20.0 - 99.0
    Modeline       "1920x1200_60.00" 149.82 1920 1960 2000 2040 1200 1208 1216
1224  +HSync -Vsync
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier     "Screen0"
    Device         "DVI"
    Monitor        "Monitor0"
    SubSection     "Display"
        Modes      "1920x1200_60.00"
    EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier "DVI"
    Driver     "nouveau"
EndSection

Kid regards,
Rob Koll
