Same problem in Xubuntu Jaunty (9.04) installed in VMWare Player 2.5.2 build-156735. First, the problem is described, second, the solution based on this page.
1. PROBLEM It seems that screen resolution and other "hardware" configurations, such as Caps Lock "On" are not saved when closing session. I installed several times, even tried first installing Ubuntu and adding Xubuntu through synaptics. Also, after installed in Xubuntu, Gnome session configurations are saved, but choosing back Xfce the problem is still there. Runs correctly if installed in Sun VirtualBox 2.2.4 r47978. Ubuntu, OpenSuse, Windows XP, Mint, all run properly, in VMW Player. Back to Xubuntu in VMWP, a line of Xorg.0.log was "Unable to estimate virtual size" as appears also in Bug #194783 (comment there by David Mills on 2008-02-23). 2. SOLUTION Screen problem solved using comment by Tomasz Dominikowski on 2008-02-17. the only change was higher mode to 1152x864, instead of 1280x1024: Section "Monitor" Identifier "Configured Monitor" Option "DPMS" HorizSync 30.0 - 80.0 VertRefresh 56.0 - 75.0 EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen" Monitor "Configured Monitor" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection EndSection -- [P4M900] incorrect screen detection [openchrome] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/182778 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
