None of those suggestions work either. I uninstall Pulse and made sure there were no Pulse related modules in the 
libraries but still no difference.

I feel something broke between 11.4 and 12.1 because everything works fine in 
11.4.

I'm using a Dell 17" LCD. And, as I stated above, I can get the display to stay at 1024x768 in 11.4 and everything looks 
fine.

Is 4.8.2 in the repositories ?
