Bug Description

Running a Dell Inspiron 6000 - Intel 915 built in graphics, 1280x800 laptop display.

Sequence of events to duplicate problem:
* Gutsy beta Live CD incorrectly sets resolution to 1024x768, but I ignore this for now. (this hasn't happened in previous releases though)
* Once installed, it boots into 1024x768 as expected. I adjust this successfully to 1280x800 using the new screens and graphics GUI
* On all successive reboots, the resolution is 640x480, and the other supported resolutions are gone from the menu. The startup progress bar is at the correct resolution, the problem occurs when X starts.

What additional information do I need to submit? (fairly new user)
