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 issue is that Ubuntu 16.04 does not save or read the saved screen + resolution settings of 1920x1080 from my Vizio 42 inch TV HDMI connected + to my computer.
