Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg
When booting Ubuntu 7.04 "Feisty Fawn" Beta's "Desktop" CD, X.org 7.2.0
randomly picks the screen resolution 800x600 even though my monitor is
full capable of doing 1024x768 in X.org. Just by restarting and
booting my live CD again, X.org sometimes picks 1024x768 and sometimes
picks 800x600. It seems like it randomly picks one resolution or
another whenever I boot Ubuntu 7.04's Desktop CD. Older Ubuntu's such
as 6.06 always chose 1024x768 on every boot of their Desktop CD and
never swapped back and forth between 800x600 and 1024x768 depending on
when I boot.
Steps for me to see the behavior:
1. Turn monitor on before computer. (I believe the monitor is a KDS
XF-70).
2. Turn computer on and boot Ubuntu 7.04's Desktop CD.
Once it is booted, sometimes it picks 800x600 and sometimes it picks
1024x768. It never seems to consistently pick the same resolution on
different boots.
3. If I reboot, I sometimes get 800x600 again and sometimes get
1024x768 when X.org loads.
