Upgraded to 13.04, now display can't set to 1680x1050

[leo]

I upgraded to 13.04 today and spent hours trying to get my display like it was yesterday.
After searching the forums....etc etc...I tried a reboot and on the login dialogue screen I chose Xfce desktop instead of Ubuntu Studio..VOILA!! It worked. ~Leo

I suspect the new install failed to find the correct driver. No idea how to fix that.
My computer is, if calculated like dog-years, older than I am I think. Gateway GM5457E ; Got it in 2007. That makes it an antique, no?
