Trusty: 1024x768 resolution not available to connect to Cisco KVM

[jeffrey leung]

1024x768 resolution is not available by default in Ubuntu Trusty when connecting to Cisco KVM. It works fine with RHEL 6.5 (xorg-xserver x1.13.0) and SLES 11.4 (xorg-xserver v1.6.5).

The workaround to enable display in Ubuntu Trusty is:
1. Stop lightdm (service lightdm stop)
2. Generate an xorg.conf file. Item #54 you need to add -> Modes "1024x768" (will attach screenshot in comments)
3. Copy the file to /etc
4. Start lightdm again (service lightdm start)

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time.

Ubuntu 14.04 (trusty) reached end-of-standard-support on April 25, 2019.

Do you still see a problem related to the one that you reported when using a currently supported version of Ubuntu? Please let us know if you do otherwise this report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
