Did by any chance this "update" make a backup of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?
Try to find from the date, name and content if there is a suitable file to be 
renamed as xorg.conf (first rename the actual xorg as xorg.10.19.01, you 
newer know why). Then restart x (ctrl alt backspace, or better Alt+SysRq+K, 
or reboot)
YMMV.
Else read what is in /etc/X11/xorg.conf and see if you can find anything 
there.

I have been struggling with *my* screen resolution (and my graphical card 
driver) lately but unfortunately my knowledge is too specific and too poor to 
help you further, I even had to google "DRI" to find out it was "Direct 
Rendering Infrastructure".

Whish you good luck		Perry
