Bug Description

Binary package hint: xorg

On a fresh install of 9.04 Jaunty (made with the latest Wubi package) my Ubuntu desktop looks great.
I can reboot my HP Mini-Note 2133 and it still works.
BUT when I install the Broadcom STA WiFi-driver (which Ubuntu recommends me) because I haven't got a working wifi, then i reboot, and the resolutions are messed up!
How the **** can a wireless driver mess up the resolution? Ask for any further info (i don't know what information I should give, or where to find it, so plz tell me HOW!! I am quite new to Ubuntu, but I can work in the terminal).

I chose the package "xorg" as a guess, but I am definetely not shure, as I can't figure out where the problem is.

Hi mha2908,

Please attach the output of `lspci -vvnn`, and attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log (and maybe Xorg.0.log.old) file from after reproducing this issue. If you've made any customizations to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf please attach that as well.
