Bill Mattocks, 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 that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful. Thank you for your understanding.

As a work-around, I can click on System Settings and then click on Displays, and the screen immediate flickers and then resets back to 1920 x 1080, without the need for me to do anything else. This is most annoying, and it was not seen in previous versions of Ubuntu. All I would like is the ability to lock the screen resolution so it doesn't change on me automatically when I am using my KVM and am 'away' for extended periods.
