Your question suggests the resolution you set does not stick. What you don't mention is what resolution doesn't, and how did you set it, does it work at all?

just type xrandr, this will list all available monitors and possible modes/resolutions that you can use.
you will see a star (*) on the current used mode.
For instance:
>xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 2720 x 1024, maximum 8192 x 8192
VGA-0 connected 1280x1024+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 340mm x 270mm
1280x1024 60.02 + 75.02*
1024x768 75.08 70.07 60.00
800x600 75.00 60.32
640x480 75.00 60.00
720x400 70.08
HDMI-0 connected primary 1440x900+1280+124 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 477mm x 268mm
1920x1080 60.00 +
1280x1024 60.02
1440x900 59.90*
1280x800 59.91
1152x864 75.00
1024x768 70.07 60.00
800x600 60.32 56.25
640x480 66.67 60.00
720x400 70.08
To change it, just type:
xrandr --output HDMI-0 --mode 1920x900
this will change my second monitor (connected via HDMI port) to a new resolution.
there are more parameters you can set, like frequency, etc.

Use this command:
gksudo -k gedit /etc/gdm/Init/Default
to add the following script to the display manager default initialization configuration file:
xrandr --newmode "1600x900" 118.25 1600 1696 1856 2112 900 903 908 934 -hsync +vsync
xrandr --addmode VGA1 1600x900
xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1600x900
The mode details can be found from the cvt command
cvt -v 1440 900
where 1440 is the screen width and 900 is the screen height. You can get the screen resolution dimensions from the laptop datasheet/manufacturers website.

Use this command:
gksudo -k gedit /etc/gdm/Init/Default
to add the following script to the display manager default initialization configuration file:
xrandr --newmode "1600x900" 118.25 1600 1696 1856 2112 900 903 908 934 -hsync +vsync
xrandr --addmode VGA1 1600x900
xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1600x900
The mode details can be found from the cvt command
cvt -v 1440 900
where 1440 is the screen width and 900 is the screen height. You can get the screen resolution dimensions from the laptop datasheet/manufacturers website.

Use this command:
gksudo -k gedit /etc/gdm/Init/Default
to add the following script to the display manager default initialization configuration file:
xrandr --newmode "1600x900" 118.25 1600 1696 1856 2112 900 903 908 934 -hsync +vsync
xrandr --addmode VGA1 1600x900
xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1600x900
The mode details can be found from the cvt command
cvt -v 1440 900
where 1440 is the screen width and 900 is the screen height. You can get the screen resolution dimensions from the laptop datasheet/manufacturers website.
