Description Ohad 2009-04-06 10:19:54 UTC
Please describe the problem:
The system wrongly detects my toshiba laptop's resolution as 1028x768 which is wrong.
I manually set it to 1280x800 using the "display preferences" tool.
it fixes the problem until i restart the computer
after a restart the program sets back the resolution to 1024x768
here is a bug i opened in ubuntu's bug tracking system regarding this issue
where additional information is attached.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/356124

Steps to reproduce:
1. Everytime i restart my computer
2. 
3. 


Actual results:
Software sets the screen resolution to a wrong 1024x768

Expected results:

yes
