Monitor size settings don't stick
I have two problems with the monitor size settings. One is just a nuissance, the other is a serious problem.
First the bad one. Twice now, the monitor size settings changed to 800x600, and the only other options are even smaller sizes. The first time it solved itself after a few reboots - at least, I can't think of anything I did that solved it. All I did was try several desktop environments, so I tried that too the second time, but to no avail. Which leaves me viewing a horroible screen. Since it's the same in all de's, I suppose it's Ubuntu that causes the problem, not the de's.
The other problem is that I changed the display size to 1600x1000, but on every login it changes back to the maximum setting of 1920x1440, so I have to change it back again.
What surprised me is that Ubuntu didn't ask me any questions about the monitor, like Suse does (the distro I have used for several years now). Does it detect that by itself?
