Mikel Ward, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com /daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p xorg-server REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER Please note, given you already have done this in a prior release, performing this on a release prior to Trusty would not be helpful. Thank you for your understanding.

Then yesterday I did an apt-get dist-upgrade (sources.list points to maverick), and after rebooting, my X server defaulted to a ridiculously high resolution, something non-standard slightly higher than 1600x1200. My monitor is a 17" Sony CRT, which works well at 1024x768x85 or 1280x1024x85, and supports 1600x1200x60, but everything is far too small at that resolution. The default until recently was 1024x768, which I think was perfect. Also note that during boot, the screen flickers several times, possibly more than it did previously. dmesg has: Sep 19 23:18:30 mikel-desktop kernel: [ 1578.773390] Sep 19 23:18:30 mikel-desktop kernel: [ 1578.827170] Sep 19 23:18:30 mikel-desktop kernel: [ 1578.876465] Sep 19 23:18:30 mikel-desktop kernel: [ 1578.925753] Sep 19 23:18:30 mikel-desktop kernel: [ 1578.925756] radeon 0000:01:05.0: HDMI Type A-1: EDID block 0 invalid.

I will attach my current Xorg.0.log. The version from when I had 10.10 beta seems to have been rotated away. :-( Worse is that I can't easily change it, as /etc/X11/xorg.conf does not exist, and there doesn't seem to be any GUI to change the login screen resolution.
