On boot I can only configure a max resolution of 1024x768 now after booting this morning. I ended up reinstalling ubuntu 11.10 and still am limited to this as the max resolution. The display is detected as unknown
.
My graphics are on chip Intel 2500K (Intel HD 3000 graphics), the monitor is a Dell 2209W. The reinstalled system has been updated to the latest packages (there's no more updates to apply).
All has been fine until I updated the repositories last night.
Other than that there's nothing really unique about my system.
