Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xorg
After moving my computer, I turned it on, plugged in the monitor, and discovered that I got 1024x768 scaled, instead of the previous 1280x1024. Since I hadn't modified my X config, I presumed that X probed the monitor resolution at startup, and restarted X -- but got the same result. To my slight surprise, a reboot with the monitor plugged in solved the problem, and I'm now back at 1280x1024. This is not critical in any way, but I would suggest that ideally monitor capabilities should be probed in a hotplug-like manner when a monitor is plugged in, or if that is too difficult, that X probes the monitor when it starts up. (Apologies if this is a known issue, there are a few bug reports that from the description may or may not have been caused by this; I couldn't find anything specific enough to call it a duplicate.) ** Affects: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- Monitor resolution is only probed on boot https://launchpad.net/bugs/59480 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
