Can not set screen to lower resolution

[Col. SC Sood(Retd)]

Binary package hint: yelp

Sir,

I installed Ubuntu 10.10 using i386 DVD downloaded on 04 Oct 2010.
Default resolution after installation is 1280x1024(5x4).
I clicked System-> preferences -> Monitors and tried all lower resolutions.
The resultant screen shows a split screen rather than full proper screen.

Screen shot is attached.

This needs to be looked into.

Regards,
Satish
