No change in 15.04.  I can add the resolution with xrandr, and after
that I can use it.  But after reboot, I have to do it again.

The upgrade got stuck with a black screen and no networking, but I
eventually got out of it with the "apt-get dist-upgrade" dance from the
console.  I hope that hasn't messed things up.

It may matter that I've got the monitor's DVI port hooked up to my
computer's HDMI port.  It was the only way to get things working: the
monitor doesn't support its full native resolution on HDMI, and the
Haswell builtin graphics only supports the resolution on HDMI.  But, the
hardware can do it and it used to work from the settings GUI without
hackery.

Title:
  Screen resolution no longer works

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  My display's native resolution is 2560×1440 pixels.  Prior to, I
  think, Saucy I could only reach this resolution by adding it using
  xrandr, and then calling xrandr on boot/login to select that
  resolution.  The Display preferences did not show any higher options
  than 1920×1200.

  In Saucy, the native resolution just worked, and I could stop using
  xrandr.  It also worked in Trusty in the alpha releases, up to (and I
  think including) beta-1.  But today (this is not an April's fool, is
  it?) I rebooted after an upgrade, and found myself back in 1920×1200.
  Again, the Display preferences list that resolution as the highest
  possible.  But this time, attempts to ‘xrandr --addmode’ my native
  resolution failed.

  The error message wasn't very helpful; I'll try to reproduce it later
  but it throws my display into yet a lower resolution that's hard to
  work with.
