[Bug 114504] [feisty] resolution changes to 640x480 interlaced after changing gamma

[Eero Tamminen]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Version:
- Kubuntu: Feisty Fawn 7.04

Test-case:
- Open System Settings -> Computer Administration -> Screen & Monitor
- Select Color & Gamma tab, change some setting and then apply the change
- Log out and restart X server

Expected outcome:
- Gamma changes, otherwise screen settings are the same

Actual outcome:
- X server starts in 640x480 at 60Hz interlace mode

I'm pretty sure I had earlier successfully changed resolution from the
same tool, and the reason for the broken configuration was the gamma
change I tried.   For a newbie this could be a bit scary as it would
probably normally happen on next boot.  The interlace mode is not really
usable and I'm not sure this situation is fixable with the UI tool.
After that happened I edited xorg.conf by hand and didn't touch the UI
configuration stuff anymore (even to verify that it really was gamma
setting).

I have MGA G550 gfx card.
