Hey all,

I just upgraded to Intrepid and played around with the resolution settings. 
Just to see how it works. I took a resolution way too high for my monitor 
(1400x1050 on a Dell 17 inch LCD that could handle maximally 1280x960) and 
ended up with a black screen, that just did not want to revert back. I had to 
start a x-term session to be able to recover my display. I think the above 
mentioned test period is quite critical to implement too in Intrepid...
To test whether it was just a matter for an upgraded system I tested this too 
on a virtual live-cd session. Also there it did automatically revert back after 
a small period of time, although there I could not choose for any resolutions 
that could crash the system.
Another related thing: should the failsafe session of gnome not automatically 
fall back to a safe screen resolution (read as low as possible), even that 
session wanted to start at a resolution of 1400x1050?

Cheers
