Several obvious questions arise:
_Why_ did X select a different resolution today?
_How_ can I get to the higher resolution?
_What_ can I do to prevent a recurrence of this problem?
Don't know about 1 and 3, but you can change resolution by simply
right-clicking on your desktop in most DEs and in the settings there
select a resolution.
Gnome's right click doesn't offer any system setting choices. From the
start menu, System//Preferences//ScreenResolution offers choices, but
only up to 1024x768. There's no sign of the 1280x1024 that had been in
use :-<
Now that I looked closer, you are using an ancient version of
ati-drivers (8.552-r2). What is your card? If it's an HD2xxx or
higher, please try updating to ati-drivers-9.9 or 8.660 (this one is
actually newer than 9.9 but it's an Ubuntu release and masked).
If your card is not an HD-series card (that means X1xxx and older), you
might have better luck switching to the open source drivers instead.
