Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-driver-nv
This is a regression from Herd 5...
HP Pavilion dv9297ea with nVidia GeForce Go 7600 running Feisty Beta. I
had previously installed Herd 5 and Xorg determined that driver should
be vesa at 1024x768 on fresh install.
Installed beta from scratch (no upgrade) and Xorg determined nv driver
at 1440x900 (correct resolution). I have been using nv driver up until
today at 1440x900 but I installed latest updates today which have
probably been released in last 5 days, and the new driver no longer
works at 1440x900. It is set to 1280x800 after installing updates, and
doing 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg ' to select 1440x900
seems to work (xorg.conf looks ok) but still it maxes out at 1280x800.
I see this under Preferences|Screen Resolution.
I tried editing xorg.conf by hand as well as with dpkg-reconfigure, to
only select 1440x900 resolution at all colour depths, but when
rebooting, Screen Resolution gui tool shows that 1280x800, 1024x768,
800x600 and 640x480 are available. I have to install nvidia-glx driver
to get correct resolution again.
