** Description changed: Binary package hint: xorg I see several reports submitted with similar and overlapping symptoms, but none says quite what I have observed after many repeats. It seems to come down to this: My notebook's 17" monitor goes to resolutions of 1440x900. So far with Ubuntu 9.10, no problem, but when I select a lower resolution, the displayed images squashes in so that everything in the image stays at the same pixel count. I cannot up a small, like 800x600 or 1024x768 image, to fill the whole larger screen. This is true of all recent versions of Ubuntu. May be something specific to the video card employed. With Ubuntu 9.04, this PC loses higher resolutions on some power ups or reboots. It might only show a resolution as high as 1024x768, or 800x600, and one time of 640x480. There is nothing displayed as a higher resolution choice. One exception was when it did display a choice of 1360x768 above 1024x768, and it would set at that size, jut it just suddenly showed up on its own. When it makes up its mine that there are no higher resolutions, you are stuck at not being able to tell it otherwise. Also saw on one reinstall that it kept telling me it had to revert to low graphics resolutions because of a parsing error in the config file, and when I tried to edit the file (an option at that point), it turned out to be /etc/X11/xorg.conf. The line reported to be in error was in the screen section, and efforts to change, even delete the line, kept bringing back the same error loop. My notebook has no problem displaying stable higher resolution images, so maybe there is a lack of adequate time involved when checking the video card for whether it supports a given resolution or not. Can't really tell. Might be a file read error involved at some point.
