Hi Bryce, There are two separate issues here, which I incorrectly thought were related when I filed this bug.
I believe that the main issue, the incorrect X resolution, was related to my use of a VGA converter on the DVI port. I'm now using a DVI cable, and I'm not experiencing the problem anymore. I no longer have a VGA cable, so I can't test whether I'd still have the problem if I were using one. For my part, we could close this bug. The side issue of the ugly console front, which it turns out is not really related, I found that it's just a configuration issue. I fixed it by editing /etc/default/console-setup (changing FONTFACE="Fixed" to "VGA"). It's odd to me that Ubuntu defaults to such an ugly console font, but I don't think you could call this choice a bug. -- Framebuffer graphics mode spontaneously changes, X resolution limited incorrectly (Intel 945GM) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/175475 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
