Last night my PM 7300/500 was just fine, no errors when shut down. This morning booted up with no errors, but there were several changes that happened.
1)- The color and contrast were different than last night 2)- The resolution was lower (icons were misplaced, some were off the screen)
Could be a loose video cable which prevented complete auto-sense. Or perhaps one of your VRAM sticks has become marginal. Or perhaps your PRAM battery is dying.
This is what I have done already -- 1)- trashed Finder, System, and monitor preferences
Finder and System prefs have nothing to do with video resolution.
2)- rebuilt the desktop (all volumes)
The desktop databases certainly have nothing to do with this type of problem.

I was searching for more ideas to try and figure out the problem, and opened the Monitor Control Panel directly, and changed the setting to show "All" possible resolutions, and there was the missing resolution!!
Good that you could override it. That the auto-sense failed is still not good tho. Definately tighten your video cable. If it happens again, try reseating your sticks of VRAM. And order a fresh PRAM battery...
