    [Graphics] 2560x1080 resolution problem

    Hey,
    I have a LG 29UM59-U monitor which is 2560x1080 21:9 ratio. On windows it works flawlessly, on kubuntu and on linux mint - it doesn't. The problem is I can't even choose 2560x1080 resolution in 'display' settings. I've tried adding custom resolution with xrandr:

    Code:
     erzis@erzis:~$ cvt 2560 1080
    # 2560x1080 59.98 Hz (CVT) hsync: 67.17 kHz; pclk: 230.00 MHz
    Modeline "2560x1080_60.00"  230.00  2560 2720 2992 3424  1080 1083 1093 1120 -hsync +vsync
    erzis@erzis:~$ xrandr --newmode "2560x1080_60.00"  230.00  2560 2720 2992 3424  1080 1083 1093 1120 -hsync +vsync
    erzis@erzis:~$ xrandr --addmode HDMI-2 2560x1080_60.00
    My GPU: AMD Radeon HD 6870. I'm connected via HDMI-HDMI cable.

    After entering these I'm able to pick 2560x1080 resolution and it resizes succesfully. The problem here is it is so blurry and buggy. What might be the cause?

    Modeline is slightly different from what gtf provides:
    Code:
    [FONT=monospace][COLOR=#000000]  # 2560x1080 @ 59.98 Hz (GTF) hsync: 67.06 kHz; pclk: 230.68 MHz[/COLOR]
      Modeline "2560x1080_59.98"  230.68  2560 2728 3000 3440  1080 1081 1084 1118  -HSync +Vsync
    [/FONT]
    What the output of xdpyinfo |grep 'dim\|reso'

      Also, LG says it supports 75hz.

      Code:
      [FONT=monospace][COLOR=#000000]cvt 2560 1080 75[/COLOR]
      # 2560x1080 74.94 Hz (CVT) hsync: 84.68 kHz; pclk: 294.00 MHz
      Modeline "2560x1080_75.00"  294.00  2560 2744 3016 3472  1080 1083 1093 1130 -hsync +vsync
