As was the case for Hardy, the vesa driver does a much better job of detecting the display size.
I generated an xorg.conf with "sudo xorg -configure", changed the driver in section "Device" from "radeon" to "vesa" (and commented out "VendorName", "BoardName" and "BusID"), and rebooted with "nomodeset".
