Bug Description
I was testing kernel 3.5.0-6.6: http://
I have nouveau drivers installed and I have a Nvidia GeForce 8400 GS graphics card.
I had 1440x900 resolution when I just booted to the 3.5.0-6.6 kernel.
I tried changing various resolutions and they all worked, but when I tried to get back to 1440x900 I got a black screen.
Could not do anything.
I had to reboot pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL, not even CTRL+ALT+F1 displayed anything on my video.
After rebooting into 3.5.0-6.6 kernel I got resolution 1366x768, the last one chosen, I tried to change to 1440x900 again and I got a black screen again, couldn't do anything but reboot.
This time I rebooted into 3.2.0-26 kernel and found resolution 1440x900 without having to change it.
I rebooted again into kernel 3.5.0-6.6 and the resolution was 1440x900.
If I change resolution and try to go back to 1440x900 on kernel 3.5.0-6.6 I get a black screen and can't do anything.
This is my hardware:
