When monitor fails to probe, ugliness ensues. Did previous releases default to 1024? In any case, maybe a better behavior if nothing else would be to ask the user to choose one of the generic monitors. But how many monitors would we really break if we just tried 1024?
Already addressed by adding monitor selection to firstboot. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 127887 ***
(Adding myself to the CC list so I can find this later. I'm not so keen on firstboot in general -- it'd be nicer to make it Do The Right Thing -- and in specific, we'd have to patch it like crazy to make it happy in our environment.)
