Since upgrading to 10 a few weeks ago, I've occasionally logged in to
find the display stretched out of shape. Everything appears too tall
& thin. Logging out and back in has always fixed the problem.
I've gone through the logs but I really don't know what I should be
looking for, nor even what information I might post to this list to
help in diagnosing the issue other than my video card info. Can
anyone give me some pointers on what to look for, or what I can
provide to help solve this?
I can't say ofhand whatis causing it, but if you have access to a
"stretched" terminal window, what does xrandr say about the display,
and can you use it to return it to the proper size?
Thanks. Yeah, when this happens, I can easily open a terminal. Thanks
for the tip. I've just saved the output (I'll print it here, fwiw) so i
can compare the next time this happens. And I'll go through the man page
to figure out how to (try to) reset the dims.
I'd really like to know, though, if there's something in a log that
might provide a clue as to why it's happening.
This is the current output (the screen is fine). I doubt there's
anything here to suggest what the problem might be.

OK, so this has just happened again so I took the opportunity to see
what xrandr had to say about it.
$ xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 240, current 1360 x 864, maximum 1360 x 864

Two odd (to me) things: it's suggesting that it's the horizontal measure
that's changed, though what I'm seeing is a display that's very much
stretched vertically, and it's listed this new pair last, below the
smallest one.
I tried resetting using xrandr:
$ xrandr --fb 1152x864
xrandr: specified screen 1152x864 not large enough for output default
(1360x864+0+0)
In the end, logging out and back in has fixed things, as usual.
