I installed Karmic from the install CD and was pleased to find high resolutions available (1440x900 and higher).
After my first Update Manager upgrades, I could not find any resolutions higher than 1440x900. ](*,)
There's an easy solution:
SOLUTION
Run the LiveCD again and choose a high resolution, then reboot. Ubuntu somehow rediscovered my high resolutions again.
Steps:
Run the LiveCD.
Choose to run Ubuntu off the CD without installing (first option).
System -> Preferences -> Display, and choose a high resolution, such as your highest. You'll be prompted to logout.
Login with username: ubuntu. The password is empty, so just hit enter.
Make sure your resolution is working.
Reboot. You should now see your high resoutions in System -> Preferences -> Display. \\:D/
