Bug Description
Binary package hint: displayconfig-gtk
I sent this from the Help screen because there wasn't a report bug button in either Screens and Graphics or Screen Resolution.
I've been running 7.04 with no screen problems other than Google Earth not working the one time I tried it. I updated to 7.10 and tried to change the screen resolution. Now, any besides 1024 x 768 gives a torn image on the monitor.
The monitor is a Princeton VL2018W (1680 x 1050 LCD) and the graphics card is the built-in card on the motherboard (ASUS P5VD2-MX SE) connected with the VGA (analog) connector through a KVM switch. The graphics card is set to generic VESA.
The monitor still works fine in full resolution when switched to a Windows machine (through the KVM).

I just rebooted today after the latest updates and the screen came up with the low resolution warning again. I switched it back to 1280 x 1024 and now the screen saver seems to work again...but I still can't use the 1680 x 1050 mode that worked in Feisty.
