(Get the code!)
I installed 7.04 used alt F7 to move the install window so that it is viewable.
I then went to find xorg.conf to edit. I couldn't find it anywhere. Not in the X11 folder, not by searching and not when showing hidden files.
So I thought I would copy the xorg.conf over from XP, the one I have posted above, but I was stopped:"You are not the owner, so you can't change these permissions". How do I become the owner? There is no obvious way.
I used synaptic to install nvidia.glx and that fixed nothing.
I started Firefox to get to the Ubuntu Forums but that was an ordeal in itself. Why isn't there a simple link to that forum? It is such an obvious need. I had to follow link after link to finally get there.
The ctrl alt F1 left me in a "consul window" and I had no idea how to exit it. So I had to turn off the power to my computer.How does one exit a consul window?
I thought Ubuntu used xresprobe? You said above "Unfortunately, a LOT of people run into this particular bug. It's because the installer relies on a tool called xresprobe, which has proven to be quite inadequate." Well whatever is being used, I hope you can fix it.
Let me know when you have a working fix for Ubuntu screen resolution to test and I will test it.
