Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

After I installed the nvidia drivers, Xorg used 1600x1200 at the next
reboot -- which was too high for my monitor.

I'm not sure what package to blame here. Should it automatically detect
what resolutions my monitor support?

Also, why does it use the highest possible solution? I don't want that.

I have worked around that problem for now by specifying a list of
resolutions in the xorg.conf file. However, that is not really a nice
solution because I would rather want to find all resolutions
automatically and only disallow everything >=1600x1200.
