The content of xorg.conf does not matter because the ~/.config/monitors.xml file overrides the resolution set by the xorg.conf file. I had to remove the monitors.xml file to get the proper resolution after startup. The question is: why does the monitors.xml file exist? This issue started happening after upgrading to Karmic from Jaunty.
** Changed in: nvidia-settings (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => New -- nvidia-settings does not keep resolution that it is set too and xorg.conf is useless https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/362704 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-settings in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ 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
