this may sound a silly question but when you boot is you monitor on or
switched to another computer i run 3 machines if the linux (ubuntu )
is not switched through to the monitor it boots with a resolution of
800 x 600
if your monitor is of the older CRT type it may be it does not switch
in in time for Ubuntu to get the capability of the monitor.
