Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-radeon

Today I allowed some updates to run. They were mostly new video drivers.
The net result is that the display on this laptop is now set to a lower resolution than it should be.
It is a HP compaq nx 7010
I think, from memory, the resolution use to be something like 1400x1050 (I am guessing)
It is not at 1280x1024
I can not change it using the Display settings. There is just the one option there.

I am not sure which part of the upgrade caused this. I am guessing it was either xserver-xorg-video-ati or xserver-xorg-video-radeon. The submission system is forcing me to pick a package this relates to. It auto detects xserver-xorg-video when I submit, and then when I try to submit again it tells me this package is not found. So I am picking xserver-xorg-video-radeon just so I can submit this bug.
Here is what was upgraded:

This machine has a ATI Mobility Radeon 9200.

Everything on the screen looks way too big.
I gather this is a bug, as I have never had a graphics driver upgrade do this before.

I have ubuntu 9.04

It might be related to this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/80940
Though I have never had the other problems this person described with regards to autodetection not working in the past. Video has been fine for over 1 year, until this update messing something up.

With thanks...
