Thanks, Barry.

I don't see any changes in the kernel log that stick out as a cause for
this.  There were not many changes from 3.11.0-5.11 and 3.11.0-6.12, so
a bisect should be fairly quick.

I'll start the bisect now and post a test kernel shortly.

Title:
  Tiny fonts, bad screen resolution with 3.0.11-6

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in “linux” source package in Saucy:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Two different problems on two different machines.

  Virtual machine running in VMware Fusion 5: After today's kernel
  upgrade, all fonts and windows are too small, from the greeter through
  login and desktop.  Rebooting to 3.0.11-5 fixes the problem.  And I've
  seen this before, so it's definitely a regression that occasionally
  comes back.

  Native on amd64: You get to the greeter, but it doesn't respond to any
  keyboard or mouse input.  ssh'ing in and rebooting to 3.0.11-5 again
  fixes the problem.
