[Touch-packages] [Bug 1315135] Re: xorg.conf deleted during upgrade; native resolution no longer works

Turns out the upgrade deleted xorg.conf. There were two backups: one with the date as a suffix (.01052014) and one with just ".backup" as a suffix. The one with the date didn't look like what I had before, so I restored xorg.conf from xorg.conf.backup instead. Now I think I'm back in the resolution I had before (after going to the Display settings), but there's something wrong. The resolution isn't quite the native one so many pixels are fuzzy, causing my eyes to ache, and the font inside menus looks a few sizes too small. It's hard to read and leaves a lot of horizontal space in the menus unused. It also makes kerning look irregular. The monitor is an Iiyama ProLite E2407HDSV. It's supposed to do 1920×1080, but the best I can get working properly in the Display settings is 1680×1050. The next step up, 1920×1080, won't show the entire screen — large swathes of the desktop fall outside the physical display.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1315135] Re: xorg.conf deleted during upgrade; native resolution no longer works
We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time. Ubuntu 14.04 (trusty) reached end-of-standard-support on April 25, 2019 Do you still see a problem related to the one that you reported when using a currently supported version of Ubuntu? Please let us know if you do otherwise this report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time. Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better. ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1315135 Title: xorg.conf deleted during upgrade; native resolution no longer works Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I just upgraded a desktop system from 13.10 to 14.04, and to my horror found that the monitor's native resolution was no longer supported: the best setting offered was 1024×768 or somesuch.
