Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xorg
When I ran the upgrade to Jaunty Alpha 4, new features came up like the
notification-daemon, but when I restarted, my X configuration on this
Dell dimension C521 with a 22 inch LG monitor using the restricted
Nvidia Driver (I believe) was improperly configured. On startup, a
window popped up on an otherwise black screen saying something like Your
screen configuration has been changed to a low resolution.
I had to fallback to a recovery kernel and choose the option to
"reconfigure display settings" or the like in order to even get the
desktop to load properly, which led to it currently displaying at
800x600 resolution.
As for the nvidia driver, there doesn't seem to be an option to enable
that driver choice again in the system preferences or administration for
jaunty.
