Bug Description

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg

The LiveCD dumps me into a 1024x768@60Hz X session, and my eyes are hurting ... Screen->Preferences->Screen Resolution gives no other options, either. As a result, the system is near unusable.

This is on the amd64 version of the final Dapper LiveCD, with an ATI X800 Pro:

0000:05:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc R420 JI [Radeon X800PRO]

Regarding some speculation about xresprobe and/or Horiz- / VertRefresh lines - the xserver will probe the correct resolution on its own, if the ddc extension is loaded, no Horiz- or VertRefresh given, and higher resolutions than 1024x768 are in the conf file.
