Comment 16 for bug 219950

This bug affects me on Karmic with nvidia-graphics-drivers-185 and also affected me with Jaunty. In my case I have a 720p widescreen LCD TV connected through HDMI via an amplifier. The funny thing is if I first launch the nvidia app and choose the correct resolution the display is perfect, but if I then save xorg.conf and restart x the screen fonts are too big. I have not yet had a chance to try the selected fix.

Importantly, (and admittedly this is OT for this bug report) with HDMI the default screen size on the Karmic installer makes usability during install very difficult
