Ubuntu: how do i change the screen resolution if i cant see the screen!?

ubuntu was working fine, i was working on getting my wireless card up, but last night i booted it it up (hd tv is the moniter) and everything went fine, got to the login screen, and i can see everything fine, but once i log in ubuntu changes the screen resolution to something that the tv wont display. is there an easy way around this at all? or even a hard way? i think there was a key comand on suse to cycle resolutions but that never worked on suse for me, something like that because i can use a keyboard and a mouse and no screen. can i stop it from doing start x and just use teh linux itself to change the res? idk what to doUbuntu: how do i change the screen resolution if i cant see the screen!?
If you can get into the GRUB menu when you boot you should have the option of booting in verbose or some kind of ';safe'; mode. You should then be able to change the resolution. I didn't know how to do this when it happened to me and had to reinstall.
