These monitors are native 1920x1200 - so everything looks stretched. There isn't an X.conf from what I can tell, so is this a bug or is there a workaround I don't know to get this set to the full resolution?

Hi James,

Correct, there is no xorg.conf by default in SL6 any more as things are 
now auto-detected (which is fine when it works). However, if you make 
one then it should be honoured, so I'd suggest making a very basic 
xorg.conf and manually setting the resolution to see if that works.

No idea if there's a more correct way to fix this but that solution has 
worked for me.

Regards,

Phil
