Tod,
You're becoming like Karl...perhaps you shouldn't offer an answer if you
don't know.
To OP (Bill)
Try editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf
see the section that looks like this...
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1280x800" "1280x720"
"1152x864" "1152x768" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection
(Note that the 'Modes' section is all on one line but will wrap into
multiple lines in this e-mail.)
Add "1400x1050" into that line (make it the first resolution because the
first listed is the first tried).
Then see what happens when you log out and log back in...I don't think
it will take a restart to change it.
