Public bug reported:
There is a constellation of bugs relating to the difficulty in Kubuntu
9.10 in getting the screen resolution above 800x640.
1. The Live CD for Kubuntu 9.10 is stuck in low resolution, with no
obvious way to change it.
2. The programs Nvidia X Configuration Settings and Systems Settings
don't provide resolutions above that value either.
3. There is no coordination between Nvidia Confiburation and Systems
Settings. As one poster on Kubuntu Forums put it, they don't play well
together. It is unclear what the right way is to set the resolution
when both programs are present.
Many posters on Kubuntu Forums have complained about the difficulty of
getting decent screen resolution in a new installation of Kubuntu 9.10.
It is possible to do it via xorg.conf, but that's hardly a suitable
solution for the general user. Even that solution is made much more
complicated by the virtual nature of xorg.conf in the latest X11, since
the file by default doesn't actually exist in a visible place.
