How to restore Ubuntu 12 04 display resolution
Ubuntu 12.04 can lose its display resolution if it can no longer detect your display device. For example, the next time you boot your Ubuntu 12.04 PC, you might find that your display resolution has switched from 1280 x 960 to 800 x 600, which is nearly useless. Fortunately, this happens only rarely. In case you should be not so lucky, this document defines display resolution and explains how you might restore it in your Ubuntu 12.04 PC.
Note: Although this document applies specifically to Ubuntu 12.04, it also applies generally to other Ubuntu releases.
Defining display resolution
A 1280 x 960 (1280 columns by 960 rows of pixels) resolution displays 1,228,800 total pixels. In contrast, an 800 x 600 resolution displays only 480,000 total pixels, which reduces overall display resolution by 61%. For more information, please see Resolution, by Ted Hewitt at Riverside Community College.
