Public bug reported: After upgrading to Edgy, I cannot change the screen resolution. In Dapper, I used hotkeys in conjunction with scripts running xvkbd. E.g. pressing one key caused a change from 1600x1200 to 1280x1024, another press from 1280x1024 to 1024x768, and so on. The other key made similar changes but in the reverse direction. This feature was very useful and I used it frequently.
In Edgy neither the keys not the scripts have any effect. Choosing System/Preferences/Screen Resolution produces a dialog stating "The X Server does not support the XRandR extension. Runtime resolution changes to the display size are not available." How do I get this back, please? I will happy to supply further details on request, please let me know what you want. ** Affects: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Edgy upgrade: lost ability to change screen resolution https://launchpad.net/bugs/71577 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
