may have to change a couple of plist files in your login files over at system resources. if not try system preferences instead. thats my suggestion as I've never encountered this before.

thats funny, adding that line to com.apple.Boot.plist works for me
does the apple at startup change resolution?

Field Note #5 @Ianxxx 2008-03-16

I've just double checked mine its definatly 1680x1050 so not sure what your problem is.
Do you have QE and CI working?
