Thread: Constraining resolution

i'm having devil of time trying prevent resolution think overdriving monitor. i'm able resolution want when login, when reach login screen, it's high, , don't know how change that. googling advice directs me /etc/x11/xorg.conf there isn't 1 , far advice directed @ me control grub's resolution, which, of course, nothing because login screen comes after grub.
i'm running 10.04.
