Thanks for following up.  I read most of that document, but it's
difficult in places.  My understanding is that what you're asking me to
do is what's described under “Commit bisecting Ubuntu kernel versions,”
correct?  That's the only part of the main page (excluding the FAQ
below) that seems to apply.

But I don't see anything on the page addressing the question of “what if
you want to bisect revisions that are not tagged in the branch.”  Are
you saying you don't want me to bisect Ubuntu kernels in that case, and
go to the upstream kernels instead?

Title:
  Screen resolution no longer works

Status in linux 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.
