What do you mean by 'Control Panel'? This might be just changing your
prefered resolution, not the display's prefered resolution. The
prefered resolution for a display is housed in the file
/etc/X11/XF86Config under the 'Screen' section. Here's mine:

Section "Screen"
    Identifier "Screen1"
    Device     "ATI Rage 128 Mobility S2"
    Monitor    "Monitor0"
    DefaultDepth     16
    SubSection "Display"
        Depth     24
        Modes    "1024x768"
    EndSubSection
    SubSection "Display"
        Depth     16
        Modes    "1024x768"
    EndSubSection
    SubSection "Display"
        Depth     8
        Modes    "1024x768"
    EndSubSection
EndSection

You'll notice that there is a default depth, that is the prefered amount
of colors. Then there are modes. Those are used in order. Put the one
you want most often first.
