The live CD installer is awkward to use in 640x480, maybe impossible for newcomer

[Mikael Olenfalk]

I currently installed Ubuntu LTS 6.06 on a new HP machine with a ATI card. The new live CD installer is working nicely; however because the liveCD cannot get my card and screen to work at anything higher than 640x480, the installation requires me to frequently move around the espresso windows with the "Alt + Mouse" combination.

I figure this combination is unknown to newcomers; therefore the installation will become awkward to impossible to use for newcomers.

Otherwise thanks for the nice work.

Note: the original reporter indicated the bug was in package 'espresso'; however, that package was not published in Ubuntu.

This bug has been filed a few times before and the maintainer is aware
of it. I can't find the bugreport now though, so can't mark it as
duplicate. Would you mind if I simply reject this report?

Do you know the package name, that way I can find and watch the
original bugreport?
