I have the same problem on a Dell Optiplex 170L. I was putting together this computer for a friend of mine who does not have a computer at all. Using the Ubuntu 7.10 Intel x86 live CD, I ended up booting the live CD in Safe Graphics Mode. After installation, I restarted and found that it did not detect my graphics card correctly. After configuring the drivers and resolutions using the handy "configure" button, I was able to see the login and desktop correctly. I thought maybe that was the end to my problem, but I was wrong. After installing all the Ubuntu updates and restarting, the same thing happened again. It seemed to have reset itself again to the settings I had before I changed them. Using the "Start-up Manager" program I found in the Add/Remove, I changed the resolution of my Startup Splash Screen to 1024x768. I also saved the configuration of the Graphics card inside the Screens and Graphics application found in the System->Administration menu. I used the Intel i810 driver and set my resolution to 1024x768 at 75 hertz.
