Let me elaborate, I read over and realized it sounded bad.

If I am user A, and my Resolution is: 1152x864 @ 51 Hz and I goto switch to user B, the screen defaults at 1280x1024 @ 50 Hz.

If I try to set user B to 1152x864 @ 51 Hz, the screen refreshes (like it's going to set it), but never returns. The screen stays black.

I'm not sure the cause, seeing I don't know much of the code-wise aspect on how this whole switching works. It would be nice to be able to switch to the same Resolution. But you know, too bad so sad (as they say).

You can easily back-out to the login prompt via CTRL + ALT + BACKSPACE, but it's kind of annoying.

But I know, this will be fixed.
