Public bug reported:
10.10 beta was working fine.
Then yesterday I did an apt-get dist-upgrade (sources.list points to
maverick), and after rebooting, my X server defaulted to a ridiculously
high resolution, something non-standard slightly higher than 1600x1200.
My monitor is a 17" Sony CRT, which works well at 1024x768x85 or
1280x1024x85, and supports 1600x1200x60, but everything is far too small
at that resolution.
The default until recently was 1024x768, which I think was perfect.
Also note that during boot, the screen flickers several times, possibly
more than it did previously.
dmesg has:

I will attach my current Xorg.0.log. The version from when I had 10.10
beta seems to have been rotated away. :-(
Worse is that I can't easily change it, as /etc/X11/xorg.conf does not
exist, and there doesn't seem to be any GUI to change the login screen
resolution.
