I'm having a similar problem. Ever since I upgraded to Gutsy, my screen resolution drops to 1680x1050 from my monitor's native 1920x1200. Aside from the screen space loss this causes everything to look nasty. I use displayconfig-gtk to change the resolution back up to 1920x1200 and it works fine. I recently discovered, however, that doing so causes a new backup of xorg.conf to appear in /etc/X11, but a diff shows no changes between the new and old. I also discovered that displayconfig-gtk adds a whole bunch of modelines to my xorg.conf and if I remove all but the 1920x1200 modeline then a restart brings X up at 1920x1200 resolution. However, my screen still looks different: with the original xorg.conf once I reset the resolution using displayconfig-gtk all the fonts are smaller (but still look good instead of being mangled like they get running at sub-native resolution). When I have it start at 1920x1200 the fonts are much larger and really take up too much space. After playing with all the different lines in xorg.conf which I think can possible make this difference I have come to the conclusion that displayconfig-gtk is changing something other than the xorg.conf.
Does anyone else experience this? Does anyone have any idea of what is going on? I can attach screenshots if they will be helpful, just let me know. Attached to this post is the xorg.conf file that starts at 1680x1050. ** Attachment added: "xorg.conf" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10995211/xorg.conf -- Resolution settings losses its settings every time I reboot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/150061 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
