Tried INX-1.17 and same problem.  If I run 'hwinfo --monitor' it is
convinced the max resolution is 640x480, no matter which monitor I have
attached. If I boot an Ubuntu Lucid live session I invariably get a
usable resolution and hwinfo reports, in most cases, the correct data
for the monitor.

On booting the INX live CD the resolution seems to drop part way through
the boot and then again around the point the mouse driver is installed.
I’ve looked at the logs and there doesn’t appear to be anything obvious
reported.
