Public bug reported: The system (Deskpro EN p733) is connected to a Philips 107B monitor. When I try to change the resolution, ubuntu does not recognise the display type, but it does offer several resolution variants. If I select 1024*768 (which suits my old eyes much better than the original) everything works fine - until I reboot. Then I get a screen which seems to have versions of the display (slightly displaced) on top of each other. The computer worked fine at 1024*768 with Windows 2000.
Disconcertingly if then I try one of the safe variants of login, I can eventually get in, BUT my wireless connection is lost. This sounds to me like the back end end of some peripheral control file has been lost when the system shuts down. regards Peter ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 CheckboxCommand: resolution_test CheckboxDescription: This display is using the following resolution: $output Is this acceptable for your display?
