based on a suggestion from an earlier poster, i grabbed the nightly
compose of the desktop iso and booted from it. when the system
finally came up, "xdpyinfo" still reports a display resolution of
2080x800, even though the display is really only 1280x800 (the phantom
second display strikes again).
should i have expected that bug to have been fixed in this nightly
build?
ok, that's weird -- i let the screensaver kick in, got back on,
checked xdpyinfo and now it reports 1280x800. i did nothing to
reconfigure the display properties.
