------------------------------
When I installed Ubuntu the livecd has a default screen resolution very high for my monitor 1440x900@60Hz, even after install the login window has the same high resolution and the desktop.
Now when I change it in gnome-display-properties to 1024x768@85Hz and logout or reboot, the resolution will change again to 1440x900@60Hz.
Sometimes when I change from 1440x900@60Hz to 1024x768@85Hz my computer will stop responding and I have to reset my computer.
