Answer to your question; still reproducible, yes. Well that did not go all that well. It got me stuck in a 640x480. Even doing a xrandr -q only gave me that resolution. Per the URL posted above.
This is Not recommended, at least after my test: Run sudo apt-get purge nvidia-* Run sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa and then sudo apt-get update. Run sudo apt-get install nvidia-364. Reboot and your graphics issue should be fixed. >Not really< I had to purge nvidia again to get to Nouveau and then work my way through that mess to the Nivida v.304.x tested again. Then back to the terminal and the xrandr line. I went into Synaptic and unchecked ppa:graphics-drivers and went from there. Mainly square one. Back to 304.131 tested and using xrandr -s 1920x1080 in the terminal again. -- 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/1615864 Title: Screen resolution not saved after reboot or logout and back in Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: The issue is that Ubuntu 16.04 does not save or read the saved screen resolution settings of 1920x1080 from my Vizio 42 inch TV HDMI connected to my computer. When booting into the desktop the mouse pointer is small as if in 1920x1080 but then changes to a larger pointer then the resolution is then 1280x720 which seems to what 16.04 falls back to. The TV reports the proper information under xrandr. gee@HTPC:~$ xrandr Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 4096 x 4096 VGA-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) TV-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) HDMI-0 connected primary 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 980mm x 580mm 1280x720 60.00 + 59.94 1920x1080 59.94 59.94* 60.05 60.00 50.04 720x576 50.00 50.08 720x480 59.94 640x480 59.93 WORKAROUND: Type at the terminal: xrandr -s 1920x1080 --- .proc.driver.nvidia.gpus.0: Error: [Errno 21] Is a directory: u'/proc/driver/nvidia/gpus/0' .proc.driver.nvidia.registry: Binary: "" .proc.driver.nvidia.version: NVRM version: NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 304.131 Sun Nov 8 21:43:33 PST 2015 GCC version: gcc version 5.4.0 20160609 (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.2) .tmp.unity_support_test.0: ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.1 Architecture: amd64 CompizPlugins: No value set for `/apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/active_plugins' CompositorRunning: None CurrentDesktop: GNOME-Flashback:Unity DistUpgraded: Fresh install DistroCodename: xenial DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 DistroVariant: ubuntu DkmsStatus: nvidia-304, 304.131, 4.4.0-34-generic, x86_64: installed nvidia-304, 304.131, 4.4.0-36-generic, x86_64: installed ExtraDebuggingInterest: Yes, if not too technical GraphicsCard: NVIDIA Corporation C68 [GeForce 7050 PV / nForce 630a] [10de:053a] (rev a2) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd.
