screen resolution resets xubuntu 9.04

[Aaqil Mahmood]

I set screen resolution to 1024*768, But whenever I come back to my Xubuntu (restart computer) it again sets back my Xubuntu to 800*600 :(

My Graphics card is Intel 8085

I think I have given you all requested infos except "sudo: ddcprobe: command not found"

When you will fix this bug? :) or in how much duration do you fix bugs, and fixes will be given to me? with new xubuntu? or with updates manager?

Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here. Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!

I have a related problem. Using a Thinkpad X200s with an LVDWS/WSXGA screen at 1440x900 @ 50 Hz,
I encounter problems after having used an external display with another resolution. The laptop screen goes black and sometimes returns to a catatonic state, even after reboot. The only solution I have found sofar is to boot my xubuntu 9.04 in recovery mode and then reinstall xserver-xorg, which seems like an overkill.

The output from xrandr (when on the laptop screen);

I am using Xubuntu with the Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller and am experiencing this problem as well. I have subscribed to the thread. Will I see it here if/when this problem is solved?

[Christoph Wickert (cwickert)]

This was fixed in 4.6.3, can this be closed now?

[Charlie Kravetz (cjkgeek)]

Thanks for letting us know, but 4.6.3 what?

[Rovanion (rovanion-luckey)]

[Arianit Dobroshi (arianit)]
