This is sensible only for low quality CRT monitors, look at bug #68654 > Rejecting as I believe the current policy is the best we can currently do; you are always free to change the resolution using the "screen resolution" control panel option. Please, don't reject valid bugs - default 60 Hz refresh rate mode with very small fonts couses damage to users eyes (all compurer safety instructions requires 85 Hz or more, look for example TCO '99 or TCO '03 requirements - http://www.tcodevelopment.com/pls/nvp/Document.Show?CID=1200&MID=100 ), so, current policy is not the best. Btw, it's very hard to find "screen resolution" control panel option when resolution is [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 19" CRT because of too small fonts and icons. Please, try how Ubuntu looks on 19" CRT monitor (wich actual size is less than 18") with [EMAIL PROTECTED] resolution before rejecting this bug. I'm working as Linux and other free desktop software consultant and get a lot of support requests like in this bugreport - most users simply can't find how to change screen resolution when default resolution is too high and fonts are too small. I think this bug is a duplicate of bug #68654. -- LIveCD / installer selects highest screen resolution https://launchpad.net/bugs/50389 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
