Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-settings-daemon

I'm using a toshiba laptop operating jaunty beta.
the system detects my laptop screen's resolution as 1024x768 which is wrong (the resolution is also wrong on the GDM)
I manually change that, with "display preferences" tool to 1280x800 which fixes the problem until i reset my computer.
after reset the resolution changes back to 1024x768
