You are using edgy - right?
Something needs to be done to xorg to make the system stop doing 
this.  Problem is that even if "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" or 
whatever, works, all will be undone next time you boot. so you 
will have to fix things again.

BTW, it IS xorg and not Ubuntu SFAICT.  I tried the latest Gentoo 
Live CD and it insisted on giving me 800x600, which is absurd on 
a 19" CRT monitor capable of 2048x1536.
