I did some poking around over the weekend and discovered /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
In this file I discovered essentially the same video display text I remembered from editing XFree86 config files. As root I backed up the original xorg.conf, then edited all the "Mode" lines in xorg.conf to only have "1024x768" and "800x600" in them, keeping 800x600 just as a backup alternative. "1024x768" is set as the default for all color depths.
That was doing by hand what my tip of using "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" would have done through "official" software with a text interface.
I tried "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg", and all it did was change the file for me, without a menu or any kind of user interaction, delete all the Display entries except the 24-bit color entry, and set the default to 1600x1200.
Perhaps this is yet another Ubuntu 7.10 bug, as printing has stopped working after the "upgrade". Yes, I reinstalled the printer, twice now. It isn't the printer either, as the machine is dual-boot and Windows prints just fine on the same printer attached to the same computer. After upgrading to 7.10 there is the additional problem that, most of the time, Nautilus crashes when it enters a directory containing video files.
What is the "rollback" command for Ubuntu? Or am I stuck reinstalling Ubuntu 7.04?
