I have now corrected quite a few things, even some bugs from the past (#16472 login screen resolution)
My platform AMD64 ATI Radeon 9200 graphics card Real-Time kernel ATI free driver. I did the following: read and tried to follow these how-to's to create a new xorg.conf file. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto Used gconf-editor to set screen resolution At the end, I got: - proper Start-up login screen resolution, - proper Desktop screen resolution, - ability to use the 'gnome/preferences/Screen Resolution' Dialog, - decent 3D acceleration from the free ATI drivers (not using the closed-source binary drivers). - no errors in the /var/log/Xorg.0.log. This is an improvement to where I was in Gusty, since I never managed to get the Login screen to show the proper resolution. I would be happy to help you guys to make this work better for the next upgrade! It seems to fail for nearly everyone every time. I attach my xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log files in a tgz archive for your reference.
