Yep - using Hoary. It used to be stuck in 640x480 all the time a few
weeks ago but that stopped when they updated stuff. I just did another
update and it worked ok this time - but I didnt notice anything in the
upgrades (was only a few packages) that would alter GDM / X files. I
also crossed from linux-image-386 to linux-image-k7 at the same time -
doubt that has anything to do with it though
