2008-12-27 12:55:13 Bob Jones description I have a nVidia Geforce 7600 GS graphics board in a desktop computer. I prefer to use a display setting of 1024 x 768. In all previous version of Ubuntu and Kubuntu I have had no problems with setting the display to these settings on this computer. With Ubuntu 8.10 I can set the display to 1024 x 768 and when it restarts the display is correct. Using Kubuntu 8.10 I can get it to take the setting without a problem using "system settings > Display > Size & Orientation". However on restarting my computer the display returns to the default. If I go to "system settings > Display " it immediately returns to 1024 x 768 without any action by me. It will then be fine until I reboot. Note that I haven't checked if it will hold on a "logout" "login". I have had the same problem on three different installs of 9.10 in my desktop computer. I have also tried both the GDM and the KDM display managers and both have the same problem. Note that I do not have this problem on my HP Pavillion dv6000 laptop. Thank you for allowing me to submit this report. Bob Jones I have a nVidia Geforce 7600 GS graphics board in a desktop computer. I prefer to use a display setting of 1024 x 768.
