Today there was a security update to 'nvidia-current' in Precise:
But along with that they dropped other patches and in my case it removed my desired resolution of 1440x900. This is the xrandr with the old driver:nvidia-graphics-drivers-updates (304.88-0ubuntu0.0.1) precise-security; urgency=low
* SECURITY UPDATE: ARGB Cursor Buffer Overflow in "NoScanout" Mode
- CVE-2013-0131
* New upstream release
- Fixed CVE-2013-0131:
NVIDIA UNIX GPU Driver ARGB Cursor Buffer Overflow in
"NoScanout" Mode. This buffer overflow, which occurred
when an X client installed a large ARGB cursor on an
X server running in NoScanout mode, could cause a denial
of service (e.g., an X server segmentation fault), or
could be exploited to achieve arbitrary code execution.
[ Alberto Milone ]
* debian/dkms.conf{.in}:
- Drop all the patches.
* debian/substvars:
- Add support for xorg-video-abi-14.

And here's the xrandr with the new driver:Code:lance@lance-AMD-desktop:~$ xrandr xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default Screen 0: minimum 320 x 240, current 1440 x 900, maximum 1680 x 1050 default connected 1440x900+0+0 0mm x 0mm 1680x1050 50.0 51.0 52.0 53.0 54.0 1600x1024 55.0 1440x900 56.0* 1400x1050 57.0 58.0 59.0 60.0 61.0 1360x768 62.0 63.0 1280x1024 64.0 65.0 1280x960 66.0 1152x864 67.0 68.0 69.0 70.0 1024x768 71.0 72.0 73.0 960x720 74.0 960x600 75.0 960x540 76.0 928x696 77.0 896x672 78.0 840x525 79.0 80.0 81.0 82.0 832x624 83.0 800x600 84.0 85.0 86.0 87.0 88.0 89.0 90.0 91.0 800x512 92.0 720x450 93.0 680x384 94.0 95.0 640x512 96.0 97.0 640x480 98.0 99.0 100.0 101.0 102.0 103.0 576x432 104.0 105.0 106.0 107.0 512x384 108.0 109.0 110.0 416x312 111.0 400x300 112.0 113.0 114.0 115.0 320x240 116.0 117.0 118.0
Any thoughts on how I can get the desired mode back in the updated driver?Code:lance@lance-AMD-desktop:~$ xrandr Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 1680 x 1050, maximum 4096 x 4096 VGA-0 connected 1680x1050+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 474mm x 297mm 1680x1050 60.6*+ 74.9 1600x1200 75.0 60.0 1400x1050 74.9 60.0 1280x1024 75.0 60.0 1280x960 60.0 1152x864 75.0 1024x768 75.0 70.1 60.0 800x600 75.0 72.2 60.3 56.2 640x480 75.0 72.8 59.9
The xorg.conf has very little in it:
A long time ago I used this same monitor with Intel graphics and I'd have to use this xorg.conf:Code:Section "Device" Identifier "Default Device" Option "NoLogo" "True" EndSection
So I sort of think I could just add the "Monitor" and "Screen" sections of that to my xorg.conf like this but I'm not sure:Code:Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "X.org Configured" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection Section "Files" ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/cyrillic" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi" FontPath "/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType" FontPath "built-ins" EndSection Section "Module" Load "dbe" Load "dri" Load "dri2" Load "extmod" Load "record" Load "glx" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "auto" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "Monitor Vendor" ModelName "Monitor Model" Modeline "1440x900_60.00" 106.50 1440 1528 1672 1904 900 903 909 934 -hsync +vsync Option "PreferredMode" "1440x900_60.00" EndSection Section "Device" ### Available Driver options are:- ### Values: <i>: integer, <f>: float, <bool>: "True"/"False", ### <string>: "String", <freq>: "<f> Hz/kHz/MHz" ### [arg]: arg optional #Option "NoAccel" # [<bool>] #Option "SWcursor" # [<bool>] #Option "ColorKey" # <i> #Option "CacheLines" # <i> #Option "Dac6Bit" # [<bool>] #Option "DRI" # [<bool>] #Option "NoDDC" # [<bool>] #Option "ShowCache" # [<bool>] #Option "XvMCSurfaces" # <i> #Option "PageFlip" # [<bool>] Identifier "Card0" Driver "intel" VendorName "Intel Corporation" BoardName "82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller" BusID "PCI:0:2:0" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Card0" Monitor "Monitor0" SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 1 Modes "1440x900@60" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 4 Modes "1440x900@60" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 8 Modes "1440x900@60" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 15 Modes "1440x900@60" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 16 Modes "1440x900@60" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 Modes "1440x900@60" EndSubSection EndSection
