FURTHER INFORMATION:
I am using a laptop with a Radeon Mobility X1400 gpu. Also, here is some output from some commands (cut down because I'm not copy/pasting).

 $ lspci
...
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility X1400

 $ cat /proc/cpuinfo

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1. Get yourself a Dell laptop with 1680x1050 monitor and a Radeon Mobility X1400.
2. Insert Gutsy live CD from last night.
3. "Start or install Ubuntu" or "Start in safe graphics mode"
4. Error message appears (with ugly border ASCII, too)
