I agree with the previous comment. My teammate had exactly the same problem today. He changed its screen resolution to a too high value and screen became black. We were forced to use a console to login and manually remove the file $HOME/.config/monitors.xml.
After each change to the display configuration, gnome-display-properties should wait 15 seconds for a user confirmation. Without any confirmation, gnome-display-properties should revert to the previous configuration. Here is two related threads on Ubuntu Forums by people having the same issue: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=757018 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=969066 Thanks! -- [82G33/G31] Changing screen resolution results in a black screen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/258584 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
