3- Click OK

This is more of a workaround than a bug (so that you can switch to higher resolutions without breaking 3D acceleration).
1) Are you experiencing problems with the virtual resolution set to 2048 x 2048?
2) What graphics card are you using?
3) Can you attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log , please?
