I have seen this issue on various intel integrated video chips. The issue seemed to be caused by the KVM switch at first, but it did not return to a proper resolution when it was removed from it. I found a workaround here: http://robert.penz.name/219/workaround-for-the-ubuntu-problem-with-kvm-switches/ In the comment someone mentiones: 1. Get a working xorg.conf file for your system using whatever method 2. Get in a terminal the modeline corresponding to your monitor and desired resolution using : gtf 1920 1200 60
the modeline needs to be proper for your screen and then added to the monitor section. I have not had this issue before, I hope something can be done to "autofix" this when a monitor is plugged. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/988290 Title: Resolution change with KVM switch on Precise To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/988290/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
