Hi,

Until now I have only tested on Karmic with the Alpha2 live-CD.

Today I upgraded my laptop to Karmic and updated to all the newest
packages.

After the upgrade the resolution of the external display changed back to 1024x768. (I had it working at 1280x1024).
Changing the resolution with xrandr did not work at all any more. Nothing happens when i type, for example:
xrandr --output VGA --mode 1280x1024, or some other resolution, no error message, no flickering display, just nothing.

Then I opened the Gnome display settings dialog and when I unchecked
"Mirror displays" and turned off the laptop monitor, I could change the
external monitor resolution to 1280x1024. This worked fine.

Then I opened the Gnome display settings dialog again and turned on the
laptop monitor, with the laptop monitor and external monitor side-by-
side. I was informed that the virtual resolution in xorg.conf would be
changed and was then prompted to log out and in again.

After restarting the computer, the X-Server and GDM stopped working
completely. I only get a text mode login-prompt and nothing more.

So now I can not get GDM running at all. I am not sure of if this is a new bug.
Any hint of what to do next would be appreciated.

I attach the Xorg.0.log and Xorg.0.log.old.

After tomorrow, I will not have access to this computer again until in
september.
