Hey all,
I just upgraded to Intrepid and played around with the resolution settings. Just to see how it works. I took a resolution way too high for my monitor (1400x1050 on a Dell 17 inch LCD that could handle maximally 1280x960) and ended up with a black screen, that just did not want to revert back. I had to start a x-term session to be able to recover my display. I think the above mentioned test period is quite critical to implement too in Intrepid...
To test whether it was just a matter for an upgraded system I tested this too on a virtual live-cd session. Also there it did automatically revert back after a small period of time, although there I could not choose for any resolutions that could crash the system.
Another related thing: should the failsafe session of gnome not automatically fall back to a safe screen resolution (read as low as possible), even that session wanted to start at a resolution of 1400x1050?
Cheers
