Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

I use a new acer monitor that has a aspect ratio of 4:3

on login, switch user, and even install, the default resolution seems to
be set for wide screens (16:10 aspect ration)- and so my monitor
displays a large blue block right in the middle of the screen that says
"input not support" and it never goes away. Being in the middle, this
blocks most of the action, such as the list of users, the password edit
box and in previous versions all the prompts during install. (I
installed 10.04 by first running the live cd, and then changing
resolutions in system>preferences>monitors before installing, so this
time I could see what I was doing, but this solution only fixes the
working environment, not the logins, splash screen etc)

in ubuntu 9.10 I found a solution, where I changed the screen modes in
xorg.conf- but this file has since been removed from 10.04 so that
solution no longer works.

I am yet to find another solution on 10.04. Until i do I cannot login

filed this on ubuntu brainstorm- but was redirected here
