I'm open to more suggestions that might point me in the right direction.

I happen to remember that the release announcement points to the documentation.

Thank you for the effort to help. Maybe 3.0 is works differently from 3.2? I'm not sure. It does work as you described if there is no real difference between different monitors (same aspect ratio, same resolution options). It's when you try something truly different that things quit working.
In my case xrandr (using it directly from the command line) reports the possible resolutions of the monitor attached at installation, not the monitor currently attached. If a monitor with a different aspect ratio is attached, the monitor settings don't reflect the new possibilities.
Booting the machine with a truly different monitor attached breaks the video altogether. The system seems to detect the new monitor but tries to use the old settings, leaving the resolution options out of range.
I think what I need is to get Zentyal to forget that a monitor was ever attached. I haven't figured out how to make that happen based on the documentation I've found online. Zentyal seems to change what files are generated or where they're stored. It could be down to my ignorance, too.

I would still like to be able to reset display settings for Zentyal. Most of the available how-to stuff (like references to xorg.conf and monitors.xml) don't seem to apply.

Hi,
I tried to figure this out but have missed the right process. Zentyal remembers display settings for the local desktop and that can cause some inconvenience if attached monitors are changed. Is there a way to reset Zentyal's display memory so that it will recognize and configure to a new monitor?

Installation and Upgrades / Re: APC Back-UPS 1080 Driver

The existing APC USB driver does not work? From the NUT compatibility list, it looks like most Back-UPS models that are supported should work with the USB driver.

Installation and Upgrades / Re: Recommendations for Server
« on: November 20, 2013, 06:16:08 pm »@CNServices: both router and Zentyal can be quite unsecured, depending on how you configure itMeaning both are also as secure as you configure it. I do share you comment, Zentyal is not less secure but there is more risk because there is a lot of configuration options and you store everything on one single box that is the one exposed to internet, at least from my standpoint.
The context of my comment is something I take to be a misunderstanding:
...but if out of the box Zentyal its less secure than a "Router" then it should not be out there.
I wasn't trying to be complete.

I am using Zentyal on my own , to learn it and its perfect in my opinion for a small office and its not that complicated , yes there is a lot and most of it I dont know yet...but if out of the box Zentyal its less secure than a "Router" then it should not be out there.
Zentyal integrates services/tools into the basic setup, and in the case of a small office, that's where the potential benefits are to us. The VPN and HTTP proxy offerings are examples.
It doesn't seem accurate to think of Zentyal as less secure than a off-the-shelf router. Maybe the confusion is over the word "cost"? It's not about money, but about the impact of using "expensive" (in terms of CPU and memory use) Zentyal features.
