The X11 log below shows a problem: First, the resolution is set to 1920x1080@50p which is great.
The login dialog seems to be fine at 1920x1080@50p. After I login, the resolution changes to 1920x1080_60. The mode 1920x1080_60 is NOT even defined in my xorg.conf. I only have ModeLine and Mode defined for 1920x1080@50p.
I wonder who is setting the other mode 1920x1080_60 ? I already disabled the nvidia-settings startup thing. But this didn't change anything.

This is with my experience :
I've installed Ubuntu and other distros on my macbook 6,1 many times and ran into the same issue.
I always have to edit the /etc/default/grub file to account for resolution.
Once you update grub and reboot, the resolution seems to stay where you want it.
