I finally found another easy way to work around to get high resolution
1152 x 864 (4:3)

1. After power up. At GNU GRUB menu,  choose "recovery mode" choice,

2. Wait until it load the new menu, 
    scroll down to pick the choice load with safe mode graphic, don't press enter yet, go to next step.
 
3. >>>> very important >>>> turn off your monitor, obviously this doesn't apply to Notebook.

4. then press enter key, and wait for two minutes or so.
5. turn on the monitor, hopefully you should see the mouse pointer smaller then before (in higher resolution).
 
6. just choose the choice to reconfigure graphic card now and choose restart x server.

7. I hope you got a higher resolution than what your default boot will
make it for you.

8. I managed to have continue high resolution now, almost every time, when I turn on my computer.
  
    >>>> BUT I HAVE TO LEAVE MONITOR TURN OFF until Ubuntu has fully loaded 2-4 minutes depend on your hardware.
 If you failed to do so, start step 1 again.

Dear Gurus of Ubuntu

1. I am willing to try anything to have a permanent fix.
So I will post to

2. If you have newer version of Lucid for me to try let me know, I will
help to see if we can improve our Lucid.

Thank you
