A temporary workaround is to use the old display resolution dialog from 
Hardy 7.10.

In a terminal type this command:

sudo displayconfig-gtk

You say be prompted for your password to use this command.

In the dialog box that appears you can choose your monitor settings 
either by manufacturer or you can try one of the default monitor types.  
Don't use Default Monitor, that's what X.org defaulted to right now and 
is what locked you into 640x480.  You should be able to change your 
resolution to what you want it to be after this.
