Ubuntu 8.04 Beta installer video resolution problem

[Jeffrey Seguerra]

I downloaded Ubuntu 8.04 Beta installer to be installed on my IBM ThinkPad R30 (2656-40J). This is a Celeron 800mhz and 768MB RAM.

When the LiveCD is finish, I was given an 800x600 resolution. Thinking this was a normal resolution for installation so I continued. After booting my machine with freshly installed Hardy Heron beta, my resolution was 800x600. I tried to increase it to 1024x768 but 800x600 was my maximum resolution.

How could that be? I installed Gutsy and my initial resolution was 1024x768. I tried to update gutsy to hardy beta and everything is ok. But i still want a freshly installed ubuntu.

P.S. i also downloaded HArdy Alpha 6 before and LiveCD is also 800x600. I think its a video driver problem by ubuntu.

Hi jeffreyseguerra,

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? (ISOs are available from cdimage.ubuntu.com)

If it remains an issue, could you also attach a new /var/log/Xorg.0.log?
Thanks in advance.

The output of lspci -vvnn would also be worth having.
