You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I used the screen settings to change my resolution to a lower value
(because I could not get a projector to work). In order to change to the
lower resolution, I was asked for the system password, because "Monitor
Resolution Settings has detected that the virtual resolution must be set
in your configuration file in order to apply your settings. Would you
like screen resolution to set the virtual resolution for you?
(Recommended)".

After I entered the password and logged out and back in in order to
apply the new settings, the old setting for my resolution is gone. I
can't set it back to its native value (1400x1040) anymore, since it is
not listed in the list of possible resolutions anymore. I checked
xorg.conf, and there 1400x1040 is actually the only value which is
entered there. However, I am not given the choice in the menu and there
I am not able to set it back to its original value.

This seems to be a reproducible issue, since I first set the resolution
to 13.. x ... and then went down one step further to 1248x1024, and 13..
x ... is also gone now.

Working on a Samsung X20 with ubuntu 9.04. Screen-resolution-extra is
installed, so I am not sure if I am reporting the bug to the correct
package.
