To unggnu: I don't have faulty hardware, I just would like to see my screen settings as usual. And the GUI interfaces don't allow me to change drivers. I don't want to have to re-write my xorg.conf in whole just because the X server hides all the details. BTW, this is not an Ubuntu bug, as it

In most cases there is only one driver per graphic card so you don't have to change it in xorg.conf. Both exceptions Nvidia and FGLRX have a setup for the change. How do you know if your hardware sends wrong or no information? And X doesn't hide it. Most information should be available in

The resolution isn't stored anymore. Xorg gets all the needed information on start which sometimes doesn't work with faulty hardware. To change resolution the Gnome screen resolution is used which is able to save the requested resolution per user base. -- xorg;conf lost at hardy upgrade, screen

Faulty hardware? It all worked fine in Gutsy. In Hardy, ddcprobe has no problem getting hardware information, but System/Preferences/Screen resolution can't find it. ** Attachment added: terminal1.png http://launchpadlibrarian.net/15847938/terminal1.png -- xorg;conf lost at hardy upgrade,

I'm not sure if I understand your request. When I upgraded, I could not set the screen resolution at all and the xorg.conf file was absent. I wanted to set it to 1024 x 768 at 85 Hz, which is what I had before the upgrade. All I could see was 3 possible resoutions, all far higher than I could

Some progress since then. I created a new xorg.conf file and put some of the settings from previous file in there. I tired to use gcon-editor and saw that: /gnome/screen/default/0 rate: This key has no schema resolution This key has no schema although the values are ok (75 and 1024x768) The
