This last weird effect was transient; it went away after a reboot.

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.
