I agree it's got to be somewhere else. It would appear that it is not hardware specific, not video card, nor monitor, nor kvm.
I just did a test from another machine to see if it's related to the gnome-screensaver, not sure if it's truly testing anything... : 0) switch to another machine on the kvm 1) login via ssh from another machine on the kvm 2) export DISPLAY=192.168.2.4:0 # IP of ubuntu machine having resolution issues 3) gnome-screensaver-command -a 4) switch back to ubuntu machine having resolution issues 5) verify screen is black/asleep and move mouse 6) resolution stayed at the proper 1920x1080 I've mapped a keyboard shortcut to run xrandr in the meantime :( Hope this helps, Dan -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/988290 Title: Resolution change with KVM switch on Precise To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/988290/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
