When you get your monitor to show the correct resolution again, I
would suggest that you never turn off your monitor, unless you also
turn off your computer. Instead, set your power management to put
your monitor to sleep.<br>
If you turn your monitor off while your system is still on, your
system assumes that it has no monitors at all and when you turn the
monitor back on it treats it like you are hot plugging a new display
on your system and configures it from scratch, hence the changed
resolution. If your monitor is asleep, it will continue to tell
your computer that it's still there so your random config changes
won't happen.<br>
<br>
If you want a way to suspend your monitor immediately, create an
icon that runs this command:<br>
<br>
xset dpms force standby<br>
<br>
Alternatively you could hard code your monitor into the X11 settings
so that it always knows it's there... but I wouldn't recommend that.<br>

<div dir="ltr">I turned my computer off and went to watch tv. I
turned my computer on about 2 hours later and the resolution had
changed (I think). This has happened before and a restart would
fix the problem... but not this time. So I open the control
panel and go to 'monitors' and it is set to 640x480. I think one
of those numbers should be 1080 but when I click the arrows to
select another resolution nothing appears, just the option to
choose 640x480. Any one know how tofix such a problem? I run
ubuntu.
<div>Maybe it has something to do with the dist-upgrade I did
the last time I run the computer.<br>
