Okay, I go to it a bit sooner than I thought. My ViewSonic GS790 still
was only able to display in 1400x1050 even with
the Lucid Live CD. Now something happened that has happened before and
that is when I boot back into Hardy the display was in 1600x1200. This
is always short lived however and the next time I boot it will revert
back to 1400x1050.

This seems to indicate that maybe the Live CD set the hardware in a
state that lets it work for a while at 1600x1200, but after rebooting
again the hardware falls back to the setting that only lets the
monitor display at the lower res.

I could be way off on this, but maybe there is germ is truth it it.
