Comment 2 for bug 152678

OK here's my workaround. It's a pain in the fundament, but does get me going. I reconfigure X to get the crippled xorg.conf file that lets me run. That gets me going in the crippled 1024x768 screen. I copy a working xorg.conf file from a working Feisty installation and write it over the crippled xorg.conf Then a <ctl><alt><backspace> nukes X. When it comes up I can use the screen configuration tool and select 1600x1200 and run for that session. It won't survive a reboot -- I then have to nuke the xorg.conf and replace the crippled one with one that will work. Some observations: The crippled xorg.conf loses the additonal color depth entries. There are times that I need those as well. Whatever the reason for the rewrite of the xorg.conf file on reboot, the execution sucks. xorg isn't broken, it's the way xorg.conf is getting fucked up that's the problem.
