lchata at karmic-desktop:/etc/gdm$ uname -a
Linux karmic-desktop 2.6.31-16-generic #52-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 3 22:07:16

I think I may have also solved the notorious low-graphics resolution issue
in Karmic 64 bit.  It appears to be a conflict between kdm and gdm, 
timing and failsafeXServer.  Purging the #$@/%$#@ gdm may have solved it 
but only one reboot so far.  Will let you know if it succeeds long term.
