Bug Description

After updates on my Raring Ringtail install a couple days ago, Ubuntu no longer displays at my laptop's real resolution of 1366x768 anymore. It displays instead in a square 1024x768 box in the center of my screen instead, with black rectangles on either side of the screen. Figuring the problem might just have been a buggy update, I made a LiveUSB with a fresh ISO and can confirm the bug is there in the live session, too.

Note that GRUB and Plymouth still display suing the whole display at full resolution. The bug is visible in the login screen and the desktop.

I have not overwritten my current Raring install yet, so I can go back to that for additional debugging work if need be. I'm filing this bug report from within the LiveUSB session using xdiagnose.

This is a pretty nasty regression and I'd like the sides of my screen back, please. :)

A screenshot of the problem on my HDD install is available here: https://plus.google.com/109509247327281928543/posts/EeGWaDrfQij
