I have an Eizo EV2333WH-BK 23" monitor with 1920x1080 (16:9) as its native resolution and a motherboard with built-in Intel 82G965 graphics chipset. The monitor is connected via VGA cable.
This worked perfectly with Ubuntu Oneiric.
On Precise automatic installation chooses 1680x1050 (16:10) which is once not the native resolution of the monitor and second, not the correct aspect ratio. If I open the "Displays" part of the System Settings and choose "1920x1080 (16:9)" manually, the GPU crashes with a completely messed up image and no possibility to stop this by switching to a text console. The computer actually switches on Ctrl+Alt+F1 (as a subsequent Ctrl+Alt+Del works) but the console does not get visible. The image does not change. Only rebooting via Ctrl+Alt+F1 and Ctrl+Alt+Del works and the display only gets correct after the complete shutdown when the PC returns into the BIOS.
