Fiesty Fawn screen resolution bug at install

[minty-morky-mindy]

Problem:

Screen resolution locked at 800x600 or 640x480 and either 60Hz or 56Hz. GPU = Nvidia 6600GT, Monitor = Viewsonic CRT 19" G90f+

Details/Rant:

Upon running the live CD of Fiesty Fawn, I was locked into a maximum screen resolution of 800x600 at 60Hz. I tried to change this upon boot with F4 and also edit the Xorg and neither worked. Alt + F7 worked but I refuse to install Ubuntu with a work around. If it can't even present a proper screen resolution then it isn't worth bothering with so I will wait for Gutsy Gibbon.

Ubuntu MUST provide screen resolutions of greater than 800x600 by default. Even the 60Hz setting is too low for a CRT.

The install window was TOO large, and it could not be resized. Alt + F7 moved the window but that is unacceptable as Ubuntu should simply work.

If Ubuntu cannot even get the install process correct, then it isn't worth bothering with further.

As far as I am concerned, Fiesty Fawn is a FAILURE.

I do like the concept of Ubuntu, but it simply cannot be taken seriously with such blatant problems. Screen resolutions MUST work 100% correctly! The first impression is visual, and if Ubuntu can't even do that right then it doesn't deserve to be installed!

I deleted my ISO image and binned my burned Ubuntu CD.

I hope Ubuntu sort this nonsense about screen resolutions once and for all.

I am really disappointed with Fiesty Fawn. I read so many reviews and the thing can't even get screen resolutions right!!!

Anyway thanks for reading this and I look forward to the day when Ubuntu works as it ought to.
