I cannot reproduce this. r-m preserves the setting for me. Can you please do the following to help me debug this:
1. disable the restricted driver with r-m 2. sudo rm /var/log/restricted-manager.log 3. sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg Here you need to restore your proper settings wrt. keyboard layout, resolution, etc. 4. Enable restricted driver with r-m 5. Now keyboard layout/resolutions should be wrong again in xorg.conf. Please attach /var/log/restricted-manager.log and your xorg.conf. 6. Use 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' to repair keyboard/resolutions once more after breaking it with r-m. Thank you! ** Changed in: restricted-manager (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Needs Info -- Restricted Driver manager changes keyboard layout and screen resolution https://launchpad.net/bugs/94549 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
