Comment 54 for bug 150930

the problem here is its supposed to detect the correct settings and set it accordingly. however for some reason it doesn't. it worked fine on fiesty but on gutsy it doesn't detect it for some reason. on fiesty it set it to 1024 768 (this is the max resolution of my monitor). however on gutsy it gets set to 1280 1024 (gives me monitor out of range warning). the even stranger thing is it only happens with my lcd monitor. if i connect my crt monitor it works fine while still set to 1280 1024 not sure what the supported resolutions of my crt are though (gatewaty ev700). anyway i fixed it by dropping to a shell. doing

sudo nano /etc/usplash.conf

changed it to 1024 768 (yours my be different. its dependent on supported resolution)

save it

sudo dpkg-reconfigure usplash

sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart

then reboot my pc.

it now works fine.
