Bug Description

I'm not sure what is the target package for this trouble, anyway I have a notebook with an Nvidia G102M, and till kernel 4.15.0-74 the video driver work well at native screen resolution of 1368x768 @ 60.00 Hz, while all the subsequent kernel start in 640x400 from the display manager/login screen, and seems do not support any other resolution. I'm not sure if the CLI part of kernel and init are at low lines/column too.

linux-headers-KV-generic
linux-image-KV-generic
linux-modules-KV-generic
linux-modules-extra-KV-generic

More I have the following packages installed:
xserver-xorg-video-all-hwe-18.04

with the other kernels, any try to set the same native resolution 1366 x 768 fail
