Comment 12 for bug 1156310

I have reported the same symptoms earlier with an Intel Core i5 PC running Quantal, bug 1029865. I have installed the kernel from comment #7 also there and booted it, but that machine still shows the ghost VGA display and due to that comes up with a 1024x768 login screen. I have checked with "uname -a" that the fixed kernel is actually running.

Is the fixed kernel not applicable to Quantal? Are more components of Raring needed (like X.org)? If so, I would try an upgrade to Raring.

The xrandr output is as follows:
