I also have intel integrated grapics on an emachine T2742. I did an 
upgrade from LTS6.06 to LTS 8.04. In my case inital boot gives me a 1280 
X 1024 resolution and a working resolution preferences. However after 
logout you get 640 X 480 until reboot. I ran
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
 in terminal and it seems to have solved my problem since not the exact 
same issue I don't know if it will solve for you but it is worth a shot.
