Same thing happened to me. I am using a Geforce FX 5700 Ultra and a Dell 1901
FP, I did a dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and manually put in my frequencies,
and selected the desired resolution. Works, but I wish it would have just
autodetected.

Oh btw, if you need more info, please don't hesitate to contact me at ngill at

Right, it absolutely should have autodetected. Could you please also include
the output of 'sudo ddcprobe'?

$ sudo ddcprobe

Let me guess -- amd64?

your guess is right, I am running AMD64

I forgot to add that my keyboard also got switched from "us" to "ca" which is
unlekily what I wanted (location is set to Canada as I'm in Montreal)

I'm also experiencing this bug after upgrading to the latest xserver-xorg
package (6.8.2-7), upon restarting the Xserver my desktop is at 1024x768 which
has a nasty tiling effect on my laptop making it unusable :(

 I upgraded to hoary a number of weeks ago and experienced the problems then
too. In all cases running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and hitting enter until
it exits (ie. Using the defaults completely) results in a perfectly working
configuration at 1400x1050.

Hardware is an IBM T42 Laptop

Hope this helps

bam, got it.

fixed with the current upgrade; you'll need to do sudo dpkg-reconfigure
xserver-xorg, to get your proper config back. subsequent upgrades won't stomp
your config anymore. cheers.
