I have the same problem with Ubuntu 16.04. When I log in I got the resolution of 1280x1024. I can change this to 1600x1200 and it works fine until I log out.
It seems the log-in screen is also 1280x1024 which I can live with. When I log in it looks like the resolution increases temporarily because the background image shrinks and repeats itself both horizontally and vertically. But when I get my desktop the resolution is reduced back again to 1280x1024. Maybe there is some mechanism that thinks that my chosen resolution doesn't work and restore it to default? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1510281 Title: Screen resolution not saved between sessions To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1510281/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
