Bug Description
Binary package hint: nvidia-glx-legacy
I have a PC with a Nvidia TNT2 card in it.
It was running Dapper and I upgraded it to Edgy without any problems (using update-manager).
I then upgraded (again using update-manager) to Feisty and after the reboot my X came back at a low resolution rather than the 1600x1200 I usually have.
Switching to the nv driver everything worked again.
Looking at the Xorg log files it seems that when using the Feisty binary Nvidia driver it wasn't picking up the Horizontal and Vertical refresh rates from my monitor and was using very low defaults.
I got it to work by taking the refresh rates as discovered by the nv driver and manually defining them in the xorg.conf file in the monitor section, ie:
HorizSync 30-95
VertRefresh 50-160
This got things working properly, but presumably the loss of whatever functionality that had it working out of the box in Dapper and Edgy is a regression.
i have the same problem
nvidia-legacy worked perfectly on edgy at 1024x768
on feisty only at 800x600
and no way to make it work even by manually editing xorg.conf
