Guy -
There was a known bug with the nVidia GeForce 7150 driver that Ubunutu shipped with. This may have caused your resolution issues. The bug was fixed (in the package xorg-server - 2:1.5.2-2ubuntu2) on/around 23 October.
So... if you downloaded & burnt the install CD prior to 23/10 this bug may have been the cause of your woes.
If the fix you used was to download the driver from nvidia and install it then you will likely have a problem every time your kernel gets upgraded - and you'll need to reinstall the nvidia driver to fix it.
Given the bug's been fixed you're better off going with the driver Ubuntu ships with as it won't be impacted by kernel upgrades.
