GDM resolution (KARMIC)
How do I change the GDM resolution? My underpowered Graphics card and Monitor have caused the GDM resolution be set to 800x600, and that makes all the icons and menus overlap. I want to change the resolution to 1024x768, which is capable of my PC.
Thanks, Caleb

Have you tried to do it in system settings?
If you need a CD/DVD catalogizer, give a try to my program:

Login Screen?
Do you mean "System > Administration > Login Screen?" I don't think it has an entry for resolution. Well not in Karmic.

Try changing the xorg config file.
In a terminal run:
sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.old (Which backs up the current file.)
sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
There should be a subsection about Modes, under the Screen section. You can add the mode "1024x768."

But it's also recommended to install the proper driver for your graphic card.Otherwise, the Setting is under System Settings/Display
