Here's how I fixed the gdm resolution problem on my system (running ubuntu 8.04
32-bit desktop).
In a shell...
1) xrandr -q
This showed the device name used for my monitor (VGA-0) and available
resolution modes. The
one I wanted (1280x1024) was included in the list.
2) I edited /etc/gdm/Init/Default to add the line shown below:
xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 1280x1024
I put the line near the top of the file, just below the OLD_IFS=$IFS$ statement.
3) When I restarted X, gdm came up with 1280x1024 resolution, as did my
subsequent fluxbox session.
