I used a similar solution to Bryce and Sonium. However, there is a follow-on problem---on Kubuntu, fonts on the desktop begin displaying far too large after I switched to a higher resolution.
Later, with a fresh install of Ubuntu, I logged in initially in a failsafe terminal to edit xorg.conf, and then restarted. The desktop displayed correctly but gdm displayed the too-large fonts observed previously in Kubuntu. Presumably there's some link of initial screen resolution with font size used for the desktop and gdm .... ? ** Attachment added: "lspci.txt" http://librarian.launchpad.net/7339388/lspci.txt -- Max selectable screen resolution 1024x768 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/91659 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
