Unfortunately, in Ubuntu 8.10 this is still WY broken. (Ref: bug 316961) Doing the same thing - trying out resolutions on a ViewSonic A75F monitor, not only did I totally hoze my session - I hozed it in classic style. It took me several hours of hacking around with a recovery terminal before

A thousand humble apologies. My original bug was marked as a duplicate of THIS bug - and THIS is not a duplicate of anything else - so I felt it was reasonable to believe that this bug was the "root" bug that all other duplicates should point toward. Especially since there was a post-fix comment

Ref: Bug 316961 (duplicate of this) I experienced the exact same issue, and (not finding THIS bug), wrote it up yet again. Essentially my steps to reproduce involved selecting an invalid display resolution and accepting it. The result (as of 8.10) is a functionally "bricked" box. Even though I

Luke, I hate to break the bad news to you - but (at least in Intrepid), that's NOT true. I set my screen resolution/refresh rate to something higher than my monitor could display - and I got a blank screen. I had to actually *KILL POWER* to get the beast to reboot, and when I booted into recover
