This bug is reproducible with only one monitor. Everything was OK with "nv" driver, but once you choose "nvidia", the resolution was respected only until gdm login screen. After login, a default setup for "Default Monitor" in ~/.config/monitor.xml took place. My monitor.xml had also a "DVI0" entry that was correctly filled when I set nv driver. But this entry wasn't used when I set driver to "nvidia".
I know that the gnome-display-properties is able to detect when it is unable to detect screen because of proprietary drivers : you get a message asking if you would use your propietary setting manager instead ; so why since Ubuntu 9.04 Gnome started to really set desktop resolution with the monitor.xml default entry ?? A proper description of this bug would be : "Gnome regression : Gnome changes desktop resolution to default monitor.xml entry at session start when proprietary drivers in use". (so my workaround is to modify monitor.xml default entry to reflect my monitor's resolution) -- Screen resolution not preserved https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/351213 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
