Are you using multiple monitors? I've seen oddness similar to that on various Dells when docked with two external monitors.

I just had the weirdest problem on my X301.  I logged in and the resolution was 
changed to 640x480, 4 bit color.  Going into screen properties, I changed it 
back to high resolution, 32 bit color, but it wouldn't change.  And the screen 
still thought it was at the high resolution because only a little bit of the 
screen could be seen (i.e., a 640x480 chunk out of the high resolution).

Rebooted several times including turning the machine off but the problem was 
still there on a regular log in (safe mode seemed ok).  Reloaded the video 
driver.  Deleted the video devices and let it reboot and find them.  
Reinitialized the BIOS.  Nothing fixed it.

Finally said restore to an earlier restore point.  Got an error message saying 
couldn't execute the restore point.  But then after that error, it was fixed.

Anyone ever seen anything like that?  Or know what I did to fix it?
