Graphics Video Resolution Randomly Wrong
Posted: Sat Feb 09, 2013 7:15 am
Problem: Most of the time, when reboot occurs, Linux Mint 14.1 detect my monitor connected to my desktop computer as a laptop and the maximum resolution is 1024x768. Once in a while, my monitor will be detected properly during reboot as a 19" monitor and run the desired resolution of 1280x1024.
How can I insure that every reboot results in proper detection of monitor? Or, how can I work around and at least get 1280x1024 resolution by issuing a command which will re-detect or reset Mint?
