Public bug reported:
I was testing with checkbox-gtk. Running the mode-setting test left the
display in an unusable low resolution state (320x240?). My display is
an Samsung SyncMaster 206BW connected via DVI-I. It is native 1680x1050
at 60Hz. The video card is Nvidia 8800GT with 512MB. Using Nouveau
driver. Ubuntu Netbook Remix 10.04 with all updates as of Tuesday April
13 at 1:30PM Mountain time US.
I "Alt+Mouse grab to move the windows around in order to reach /usr/bin/
and execute gnome-display-properties from there as I could not get to
the menu. The gnome-display-properties displayed 1680x1050 even though
the display was somewhere around 320x240. I tried setting the display
to 1280x1024 and X locked up. Switching to another tty did not work
although pressing Num-Lock changed the Num-Lock light on and off. Other
that Num-Lock the keyboard was unresponsive and I was forced to do a
nasty hard shutdown by powering off the computer. Upon powering up the
computer everything was back to normal.
