This is still happening in 13.10, but there is a difference: before 13.10 one of the ways to get back to the right resolution was to start 'System Settings', and then start 'Displays'. That would fix the resolution (without having to click on 'Apply').
Since 13.10 just starting 'System Settings' is enough, no need to go to 'Displays'. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/988290 Title: Resolution change with KVM switch on Precise Status in GNOME Screensaver: New Status in “gnome-screensaver” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have a machine that shares monitor, keyboard and mouse with a second machine via a standard KVM-Switch (USB/VGA). After updating to precise beta yesterday, I noticed that, after having worked with the other machine for a while and switching back to the precise machine, screen resolution has changed to 800x600. Just opening "Monitors" from gnome- system-settings restores the original resolution of 1280x1024, you don't need to change anything. This is reproducible, if you switch away from the machine long enough (I guess until the screensaver gets invoked) resolution will be changed when you come back. This was not the case with oneiric. Is there some way to disable this behaviour?
