Comment 22 for bug 874694

I had this problem last week, so unless the patch isn't merged ( your comment doesn't seem like you installed a patch manually) it is still a problem. I have seen a million resolutions all across the internet, ranging from overly simplistic to downright insane. I tried many, none worked.

I did find a solution, though and the problem can be resolved in grub. I used grub customized because I am new to Ubuntu, and that was easy. You can get it from the software center, although I used the terminal because the screen resolution blocked the install button. There Isabel advanced settings tab, and you can select the maximum resolution for your screen (1024x768 for me)

I am looking at full-screen ocelot right now.

Now if only I could find a fix for the screen turning off randomly (NOT from suspend/hibernate! It just cuts off in the middle of use while the processor is going full throttle.)
