With no monitor plugged in, xorg uses (known) bad values

[qe2eqe]

Binary package hint: xorg

I use a KVM switch, and this 1024x768 LCD is all I've used with machine. If the KVM isn't set to the ubuntu channel, X commits to a default value that isn't compatible with this monitor. Maybe it's not a bug, but X should use the last known working value.

ProblemType: Bug
Architecture: i386
DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.04
Package: xorg 1:7.4~5ubuntu18
ProcEnviron:
 LANG=en_US.UTF-8
 SHELL=/bin/bash
ProcVersion: Linux version 2.6.28-13-generic (buildd@vernadsky) (gcc version 4.3.3 (Ubuntu 4.3.3-5ubuntu4) ) #45-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jun 30 19:49:51 UTC 2009
SourcePackage: xorg
Uname: Linux 2.6.28-13-generic i686

There's no way knowing the last working value.. Edit your xorg.conf to force the resolution.

Thanks.
Is this an appropriate place to ask the counter-question, I thought
ubuntu was trying to get away from xorg.conf, and that's why the new
conf looks like a dummy file.
