Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg
After some Hardy updates recently (I'm not sure exactly when, but within
a week of this posting) GDM now uses the incorrect screen resolution.
What was being displayed went off the screen. In the xorg.conf I removed
the "Virtual 1920 1200" line and it seems to now display at the correct
size. I'm not sure why the GDM Xsession is choosing the virtual screen
resolution. I'm running xserver-xorg 1:7.3+10ubuntu7.
ls -al

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4763 2008-04-09 02:21 xorg.conf.4
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4763 2008-04-09 02:22 xorg.conf.5 <-- I think the
problem started after this
diff xorg.conf xorg.conf.5
