Binary package hint: xorg
After I installed the nvidia drivers, Xorg used 1600x1200 at the next reboot -- which was too high for my monitor.
I'm not sure what package to blame here. Should it automatically detect what resolutions my monitor support?
Also, why does it use the highest possible solution? I don't want that.
I have worked around that problem for now by specifying a list of resolutions in the xorg.conf file. However, that is not really a nice solution because I would rather want to find all resolutions automatically and only disallow everything >=1600x1200.

Not sure if I'm seeing the same bug.
Default res was fine in 10.10 beta, but a dist upgrade yesterday made my 17" Sony CRT start using some weird res like 1800x1300, rather than 1024x768, which looks best, and was the default previously.
My problem only started happening in the past week or two, so I filed it separately as
