** Description changed:

  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...
