Of course, it was the first thing I tried.

It just gives an error message as follows:

    It appears that your graphics driver does not support the necessary
    extensions to use this tool. Do you want to use your graphics driver
    vendor's tool instead?

    No    Yes

If I click on Yes, it takes me to the NVIDIA X Server Settings dialog. I 
can choose the right resolution from that, but next time I boot the 
resolution is reset back to 1280 x 1024. There is an option to save to 
xorg.conf, which I have tried several times, but it makes no difference.
