Description David Walser 2015-05-17 19:28:31 CEST 
As x11-driver-video-vboxvideo continues to regress, now not only will it not use the correct resolution if you don't set it, even if you *do* explicitly set it in xorg.conf it will force it to 1024x768.  Now, it is apparently impossible to get the display manager screen to run with the correct resolution.  RandR settings from KScreen once logged in are still capable of setting the appropriate resolution.

Mageia 4 is affected too.  This update was validated too quickly.

I'll attach a diff of the Xorg.0.log files from before and after the update which shows the problems.
