This problem sounds disturbingly familiar to the problem with Dell BIOSes where you cannot tell the BIOS you've allocated more video memory. (see: http://www.mail-archive.com/devel@xfree86.org/msg02247.html)
The patch mentioned there was later introduced into the XFree86 source tree, (and I assume into XOrg). Since this obviously wasn't a problem in the last version of Ubuntu and since users aren't reporting problems getting 1024x768 resolution (another side effect of the BIOS bug), does anyone have a reasonable explanation as to what may have changed between releases to cause this problem? -- mouse pointer disappears after switch to console or resuming from sleep https://launchpad.net/bugs/67196 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
