Gutsy > Tribe 5 X.org fails to detect proper resolution

[Travis Reitter]

A recent X.org upgrade for Gutsy (within a couple of weeks) makes X.org fail to detect my laptop's native resolution (1280x800), and defaults instead to 1024x768.

The hardware:

System76 Gazelle: Intel 945GM graphics, Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GiB RAM

The most obvious hint I can see in the logs is this:

Mode: 3c (0x0)
  ModeAttributes: 0x0
  WinAAttributes: 0x0
  WinBAttributes: 0x0
  WinGranularity: 0
  WinSize: 0
  WinASegment: 0x0
  WinBSegment: 0x0
  WinFuncPtr: 0x0
  BytesPerScanline: 0
  XResolution: 0
  YResolution: 0
  ...

In the logs for my (correctly-functioning) Feisty install, I instead have this:

Mode: 3c (1280x800)
  ModeAttributes: 0x9b
  WinAAttributes: 0x7
  WinBAttributes: 0x0
  WinGranularity: 64
  WinSize: 64
  WinASegment: 0xa000
  WinBSegment: 0x0
  WinFuncPtr: 0xc00076a3
  BytesPerScanline: 1280
  XResolution: 1280
  YResolution: 800
  ...

Most of the Mode entries in the log are like that, except for the resolutions 1024x768 and below.

There aren't any more warnings or errors in the logs than there are in the Feisty Log (that I saw).

Could somebody please take a look at this? It's a pretty significant bug for me - I'm stuck in 1024x768 on a 1280x800 screen, so I've been stuck with a blurry, distorted screen for a couple weeks now. I'd really appreciate any feedback.

Sorry - this was a (confused) duplicate of #135141. Switching my X.org video driver over to "intel" fixed the resolution problem (after reading other bugs, I'm fairly sure I had the 915resolution package installed in my Feisty install - and I don't in my Gutsy install).

Please close this as a duplicate of #135141.
