GeeMac, to clarify, if you uninstall the nvidia proprietary driver is
this still reproducible?

** Description changed:

- Hello,
- 
- I am having an issue with my screen resolution of 1920x1080.  I am using a 
Vizio 42 inch TV which worked fine with the HDMI connection from the computer 
to the TV. Every time I boot the computer up I have to go into terminal and 
type " xrandr -s  1920x1080 "
- One of the first things I did was go to the System Settings > Software & 
Updates > Additional Drivers and then select Nividia 304.131 
(proprietary,tested).  I do this since when Nouveau was first introduced, it 
never worked with my graphics chipset which is a  Nividia 7050.  Yes, the 
chipset is old but worked fine until 16.04.
- 
- I spent the weekend trying all suggestions that I could find via the search 
engines along with the help of a few folks on the #ubuntu IRC.  Three days 
later, still no luck and still having to type the xrandr line in the terminal.
- I even tried adding the xrandr line in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf,  That was a 
disaster at bootup. luckily  I was able to get to the terminal and Nano edit 
the file and reboot.
- 
- In addition, probably unrelated to this issue, I have also noticed when 
running any streaming video, now it is almost like watching a slide show.  
Nothing has changed Internet connection or hardware since the install of 16.04. 
Even typing this is lagged by 1 to 3 seconds per character typed.  Same issue 
in Firefox or Chrome. But sorry, I digress.  This can be looked at in another 
post, forum or possible bug.
- The main issue is that Ubuntu 16.04 does not save and or reads the saved 
settings of 1920x1080 with out the later use via the terminal using xrandr.  I 
did take notice that when booting  into the main 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.

- This will be the only information I will post this way since it was quite 
short.  I will attach my latest xorg.conf file and also post the pastebin URL 
to it if the attachment fails.
