Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xorg
After moving my computer, I turned it on, plugged in the monitor, and
discovered that I got 1024x768 scaled, instead of the previous 1280x1024.
Since I hadn't modified my X config, I presumed that X probed the monitor
resolution at startup, and restarted X -- but got the same result. To my
slight surprise, a reboot with the monitor plugged in solved the problem, and
I'm now back at 1280x1024.
This is not critical in any way, but I would suggest that ideally
monitor capabilities should be probed in a hotplug-like manner when a
monitor is plugged in, or if that is too difficult, that X probes the
monitor when it starts up.
(Apologies if this is a known issue, there are a few bug reports that
from the description may or may not have been caused by this; I couldn't
find anything specific enough to call it a duplicate.)
** Affects: xorg (Ubuntu)
