Seeing identical behavior running Xubuntu 12.10 & 13.04 on an IBM Thinkpad T60. Scaling mode quit working when updating to kernel 3.5.0-27 on 12.10 and continues to not work on 13.04. Default resolution for this panel is 1024x768; switching to either 800x600 or 640x480 results in a window of that size at the top-left of the screen with black borders below and to the right. Confirmed that booting with the 3.5.0-26 kernel in 12.10 resolved the issue and scaling resumed working.

I am attempting to change the behaviour of the display when I attempt to change screen resolutions in KDE, my monitor (Acer H233H) appears 'stuck' in 1920x1080. When I attempt to switch to a lower resolution, ie, 1280x720 (which is listed as a valid mode), the monitor does not actually change mode, the displayed screen shrinks, with large black bars on all 4 sides. the displayed part of the screen is 1280x720, but, I expected the screen to fill the monitor, not a section of it.
