When I say "I can't go past" I mean that I can't increase the resolution
(for 16:9) past 1280x720 without having severely distorted graphics.
When I do increase past 1280x720 all I see in large parts of the screen
are smears of pixels.  Some of the screen (the bars at top and bottom,
evolution window) is normal though, which I find quite strange. X has
not crashed.  I can't read the firefox window, desktop background won't
display correctly.

I tried the xrandr method of changing the resolution as you suggest with
the same results as using System->Preferences->Display.

Also, this happened with an upgrade from "Update Manager".  If I boot
from a live CD I can set the resolution to 1920x1080.
