manually set resolution but when unit sleeps or reboots resolution automatically reverts to default

[joey steadman]

I am using a screen that is detected as default 1360x786. 1600x900 looks much better for my tastes but this setting will not stick. if unit goes into a suspend mode and then awakens,it will revert to default. same issue on a reboot. thank you for looking

Hi Joey,

I doubt this is a Unity issue. However, I'm trying to determine how you are setting your resolution. I see you are using the binary fglrx driver from the Ubuntu archives, so are you using the Catalyst Control Center or are you using the Displays settings in Ubuntu to set your resolution?

At this time, I'm going to mark the Unity bug Invalid and file this bug against the fglrx-installer package.

Thanks!

hello Christopher,
I was using the default driver at first but i have changed to 13.1 i think
it is, using catalyst installer I grabbed from here
http://www.noobslab.com/2013/04/install-ati-amd-catalyst-drivers-in.html. I
have seen the same issue with this proprietary driver as well. To change
settings, I just go to dash and type "resolution" to bring up the display
settings and change it from there. I then click "apply" and "keep this
configuration". It's not a big issue,I just thought it odd. The 1600x900
looks more eye pleasing than default.
Thank you for the response, let me know if i can do anything. I am not an
expert by any means but will do what i can
Kind Regards
Joey

Oh,I meant to mention. While i was on the default driver, I came home to a
no booter. Some sort of low graphics error i couldnt get past for a while.
I had to go into recovery and play around in there to get it to boot up.
Just a fyi
