Andreas, Assuming that displayconfig-gtk is what presents the list of screen resolutions when you select [System],[Preferences],[Screen resolution] what happens is that after a reboot the resolution options menu no longer displays resolutions higher than 800x600.
It appears that there is a problem in detecting what the monitor is capable of displaying, one that didn't exist in 7.10, and which doesn't exist with other distros I've tried. For what it's worth: http://wombatdiet.net/2008/04/24/ubuntu-804-and-the-aten-cs1734b I don't believe it is a problem with the monitor. It's either the switch or the software. Other Ubuntu/KVM problems have been reported before (see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=547299) and I think there's a suggestion here (review of a different switch) http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=aten_cs1782&num=3 that the system could revert to 800x600 when the display is not active but it happens even if the display is active. Let me know if I can help (ie things to try).

What happens if you change the display-settings with displayconfig-gtk? Does the system preserve the settings made there? ** Changed in: displayconfig-gtk (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: xserver-xorg-video-openchrome => displayconfig-gtk Assignee: (unassigned) => Andreas Moog (andreas-moog) Status: New => Incomplete -- Screen resolution detection inconsistency w/8.10 alpha 4 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/260387 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug. -- Screen resolution detection inconsistency w/8.10 alpha 4 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/260387 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
