Upgrading my Kubuntu 8.04/64bit to Kubuntu 9.04/64bit
The fresh install (no old data kept) went smooth but once it fired up trouble appeared, the desktop resolution would never go further than 1360x760 even with help from nvidia's own binary driver installed (173 and the lastest 180.51). After having struggled with the system for approx 6 hours non-stop to get back my 1920x1200 which it is predecessor had no problems with, I simply gave up and reached for the old Kubuntu 8.04.1 install cd I had burned last year and reinstalled 8.04 and with in minutes I had my 1920x1200 desktop back.
Kubuntu 8.04 never had any problems with getting GeForce 8800GT and Samsung T240 to use 1920x1200 desktop resolution. Strange Kubuntu 9.04 does have this problem, my guess would be that it is not mature enough and should not have been released in the first place, that is my 2 eurocents.
