Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-control-center
Open gnome-display-properties and reduce your resolution.
Now try to increase it back to the starting resolution. gnome-display-
properties will curtly tell you, "Please log out and log back in again".
No explanation of why.
Now quit gnome-display-properties, start it again, and choose your
starting resolution. It works! The "log out and log back in again" is
just a ruse.
This happens on both my GMA4500 laptop and my Radeon 3650 (open source
driver) desktop. It's a regression in Jaunty -- Intrepid works
properly.
