I'm afraid this problem has reappeared (at least for me) in the Hardy beta. I used to have it regularly in earlier versions of ubuntu, but not in Gutsy, nor, I think, in Feisty.

It's a Dell Latitude C600 with an ATI Mobility 128 graphics chipset. The boot process, with or without splash, is fine, but X is offering a top resolution of 800x600. Also, and more seriously, the screen is broken into three unequal vertical sections, effectively three partial projections of the desktop---exactly the same old problem that I thought I'd seen the last of some time ago!

Has anyone else got this problem (I've got one or two others including an hard drive install that fails around the 60% mark, but that's not relevant to this). Happy days!!!
