[Bug 1443989] Re: Video resolution cannot be changed

 

No come to think of it (and testing).

The graphics card gets very hot even when left in its initial stage
(2880x1800).

With the nvidia driver under 14.10 the temperature does not get anywhere
as close to this temperature.

Title:
  Video resolution cannot be changed

Status in xserver-xorg-video-nouveau package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Trying to change the video resolution (I tried on a Macbook Pro Retina
  15") to something like 1900:1200 or 1920:1080 blackens the screen and
  does not revert to the previous settings.

  Worse, the graphics card heats up rapidly and brings the area close to
  the screen to a scorging hot temperature.
