Laptop screen bad resolution every few boots

[scottuss]

Binary package hint: xorg

Every few boots, my screen resolution is very low, I have to switch to another console and kill Xorg. GDM reloads and the resolution is correct. Sometimes, the resolution is correct in GDM and then changes to low res when the desktop appears.

scottuss, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p xorg-server REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER

Please note, given you already have done this in a prior release, performing this on a release prior to Trusty would not be helpful.

Thank you for your understanding.
