So far, up to Tails 2.4, I set the resolution for my second display (which is actually my main one) like this:
    xrandr --output HDMI1 --mode 1680x1050
After upgrading to Tails 2.6, the "1680x1050" resolution does not show in the "xrandr" command, and the screen Cannot be set above 1024x768 resolution.
The following does not help:
   ~$ xrandr --newmode "1680x1050_59.90"  146.89  1680 1784 1968 2256  1050 1051 1054 1087  -HSync +Vsync
   ~$ xrandr --addmode HDMI1 1680x1050_59.90
   ~$ xrandr --output HDMI1 --mode 1680x1050_59.90
 
   ~$ xrandr
Gives:
   HDMI1 connected primary 1024x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm
   1024x768      60.00*
   800x600       60.32    56.25  
   848x480       60.00  
   640x480       59.94  
   1680x1050_59.90  59.90  
   1600x900_59.90  59.90
But entering:
   xrandr --output HDMI1 --mode 1680x1050_59.90
Darkens the screen for a second; then the screen goes back to 1024x768 resolution!
 
Is this a bug in Tails v 2.6?
