Comment # 18 on bug 1208904 from Tony Mechelynck

I had written this before seeing comment #17 and got a mid-air collision but I
think it answers your NEEDINFO:

As "any other mode" I'll try 1280x960 which has the same height:width aspect as
the resolution I'm currently using. This means that I'll soon be doing the
following:
1. Close anything (including the browser) which needs to be "properly closed"
before logging out of X
2. xrandr --output HDMI2 --mode 1280x960 > ~/xrandr.modeset.log
3. log out of X11. I expect the error screen will still be present instead of
the GUI login prompt ��������� we'll see.
4. (on a text console) init 3
5. (on the same text console) init 5
-- this will bring me back to the same autologged GUI user I am now.
6. restart (among others) the browser
7. attach to this bug the output of step 2 and a fresh copy of
/var/log/Xorg.0.log
