Comment 9 for bug 182898

Moving xorg.conf and restarting doesn't work. I got a resolution of 640x480 when I did that.

I have found a workaround which I don't understand. If I use System->Preferences->ScreenResolution and set my preference to
1600x1024, I get widescreen behavior which looks pretty good after I finish logging in. In fact, when I use the buttons on monitor to get the information feature, as I described above, it reports 1680x1050. It looks like there *may* be some unused lines at the bottom of the screen, but I'm living with it. The login screen itself is not widescreen, but once I finish logging in things look o.k.
