Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

I've configured my girlfriend's laptop to use the latest xorg stable
updates from the swat repository...

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates/ubuntu jaunty main

Last night it was auto-detecting the full resolution of her built-in
laptop screen (no external monitor used presently). However, this
morning, She's only able to see a tiny desktop, which doesn't fill the
whole screen. Monitor autodetection through gnome-display-configuration
achieves nothing. The small set of resolutions remain the only ones
which can be used.

The desktop is usable, but the resolution detection has regressed since
yesterday. We did an update and upgrade (which may have triggered a grey
out of the screen, which required a reboot). On reboot, the screen was
tiny.

Other things being equal I'll roll back to an earlier xorg by
deprioritising the x-swat repository and setting the priorities of other
repositories to more than 1000, according to "man apt_preferences". This
will permit a rollback.

However, the bug will need to be handled before releasing the updates
more widely.
