I have the same problem as Jeff, also on a Nvidia Ti4xxx card (as
reported by more people here) ... coincidence?
nvidia-settings runs fine. system boots, resolution is as is set
(1680x1050). Login, resolution remains at 1680x1050. But after user-
switching resolution drops to 640x480, though the desktop renderer still
thinks its rendering at 1680x1050, because I can see only the top-left
part of the login-screen.
- Turning off compiz does not seem to help the problem.
- No errors added to .xsession.errors on trying to switch
- Nothing added to dmesg on trying to switch
- '/var/log/Xorg.0.log' adds '(II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode
"nvidia-auto-select+0+0"'
So I tried changing the line
Option "metamodes" "nvidia-auto-select +0+0; 1680x1050_60 +0+0"
in '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' to
Option "metamodes" "1680x1050_60 +0+0; nvidia-auto-select +0+0"
But, allas, to no avail. This results in the login screen *always*
dropping to 640x480 (even on restarting gdm).
