Por que o Kubuntu mudou de repente a resolução do monitor? desde o momento da instalação até hoje, ele interpretou bem o tamanho do monitor wide-sceen, mas de repente ele definiu uma resolução de 768x1024 (e essa agora é a resolução máxima disponível), então as imagens são todas esmagadas e o visual a saída é realmente ruim do que antes. Eu não tenho a menor idéia de como restaurar a exibição anterior e qual é a causa do problema: mesma placa de vídeo, mesmos drivers ..
