KVM switching from lower resolution system resets Ubuntu high resolution
- by Ed Manet
I'm running 12.04 desktop on my main desktop and it's hooked to a KVM (IOGear miniview) that shares the peripherals with a SLES 11 machine.
The SLES 11 machine can't get the same resolution as the Ubuntu machine because of different graphics hardware.
If I switch from Ubuntu to SLES and stay there too long, when I switch back to Ubuntu the screen resolution on Ubuntu is reset to the same as SLES. I can get it back easily just opening the Displays configuration; it immediately resets to the high resolution as soon as the Displays window opens. But all my open windows have been maximized and it's a P.I.T.A. having to resize them all again.
How do I get it to just stay at the high resolution between switching between systems?
Is there a setting in the Xorg conf file I need to set?
