Display will not go over 640 x 480

Binary package hint: kdebase-workspace

I have just installed Ubunto /kubuntu and I am having problems with the display drivers. I am not sure if it is the monitor Gateway or the NVidea graphics card.

The graphcis driver most likely isn't detecting your monitor properly.

Hi t-gotts,

Thanks for including the attached files. Could you also include your /var/log/Xorg.0.log (or Xorg.0.log.old) from after reproducing the issue?

Please attach the output of `lspci -vvnn` too.

Any ideas on how to correct this outside of changing monitors?

I confirmed the problem was the Gateway monitor. I plugged in an NEC monitor and I can now change the screen resolution. One other problem is still present though. If the system is restarted for any reason the screen resolution defaults back to low res and I have to go into screen properties and set it up again. Am I missing something here. Once the settings have been made and closed out they should be saved. At least that is how I think t should work.
