The problem is "gnome-settings-daemon" is not running and would not start.
Found work-around: start gconf-editor, then open / -> apps -> gnome_settings_daemon -> plugins -> xrandr in it and disable flag "active". edit xorg.conf adding or setting Option "RandR" to "false" in Section "ServerFlags" Now gnome-settings-daemon runs and no unpleasant resetting of screen resolutions. ~~~~~~~~:~$ ps -A -f | grep gnome-settings-daemon ~~~~~~~~ 2923 2829 0 16:55 pts/0 00:00:00 grep gnome-settings-daemon http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Xorg_RandR_1.2 -- gnome-control-center-Keyboard changes screen0 resolution https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/617618 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
