I can't tell if it's still valid because my monitor stopped working and had to be replaced within a month afterward, and the problem hasn't happened since.

Today, the system boots up with all the text and icons much larger, and Settings -> Displays now informs me that my monitor is only 1024x768 and won't permit me to change it back to the correct setting. I haven't changed anything, hardware or software. How do I make it work correctly again?
