hello when do you see the resolution change? After you login or before?
I am certain that PRAM stores video settings - reset it. Hold command-alt-P-R when starting up and hold the keys until you here at least two startup chimes and then release. Is the issue reproducible if you startup from one of the Install DVDs? Did you use a retail copy of the install discs or discs made for the ibook? If you installed using unknown discs they may be machine specific discs not meant specifically for your model yielding unexpected results. Report back when you can so we can go further.
