Public bug reported:
I have noticed that on 3 different Ubuntu Gutsy installs on differing
hardware (all of them various ATI Radeon video adapters, though), the
new "System -> Administration -> Screens and Graphics" controls seem to
never save either the screen resolution or refresh rate.
My most current experience with this was last night at a friend's house,
shortly after he installed Gutsy (new install). He has an ATI Radeon
9800 and a Dell P1110 CRT - he was confused that his refresh rate was
not "sticking" upon logout (after using "Screens and Graphics"). He
tried this with both the default ATI driver and the proprietary ATI
driver from the website (the "Restricted driver" didn't launch X at
all). He prefers 1024x768 @75Hz, which he set, multiple times in
"Screens and Graphics" - but upon logout/login, it reverts to 1024x768
@60Hz. He was able to make changes stick via "System -> Preferences ->
Screen Resolution".
This should be filed as both a bug for "Screens and Graphics" as well as
counter-intuitive that both "Screen Resolution" and "Screens and
Graphics" exist in a default Gutsy install. How's a user to know which
one to change, and which one works?
Thanks!
