I confirm the original bug.
The Ubuntu 6.06 live CD (final release, downloaded about june 10, 2006) doesn't detect my graphics hardware correctly and chooses basic vga definition. (MSI K7NG2G motherboard with integrated Nvidia nForce2 video. AG Neovo E-17 17" LCD monitor 1280x1024, 135 MHz max, horizontal: 30-80kHz, vertical: 49-75Hz.)
As a result, "OK" or other buttons of many dialogs and, still worse, the installer program, are out of reach. As such, installing is impossible. I had to do dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg before I could go on with installing. (I suppose most newbies wouldn't do so and be definitely unable to use the live CD or to install Dapper.)
This is mostly a detection problem. With dpkg-reconfigure, I get my 1280x1024 resolution OK.
