Bug Description
Binary package hint: xorg
Sorry for the generalization filing this against "xorg" but I've been following bug 640807, and even commented there, but I see Tormod Volden mentioned a few bugs where xorg actually generated "wrong modes". I didn't however see any of those addressing the "identical" behaviour and hardware so I decided to be lazy and let apport help me collect info.
I was finally able to get the Maverick RC Live CD to boot by pressing F6, then ESC, then typing "text" (w/o the quotes), and then typing:
gconftool-2 --type bool -s "/apps/
Then just typing "startx" (again w/o the quotes) I got a desktop with the expected modes:
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1680 x 1050, maximum 4096 x 4096
VGA1 connected 1680x1050+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 474mm x 297mm
1680x1050 60.6*+ 74.9
1600x1200 75.0 60.0
1400x1050 74.9 60.0
1280x1024 75.0 60.0
1280x960 60.0
1152x864 75.0
1024x768 75.1 70.1 60.0
832x624 74.6
800x600 72.2 75.0 60.3 56.2
640x480 72.8 75.0 66.7 60.0
720x400 70.1
Due to limited vision it's difficult to continue this dialogue at the default resolution. That however is typical and unrelated to this bug, so I'll stop for now and report more once I can manually adjust to 1440x900 as I usually do. I just didn't want to make any modifications before filing this bug report.

Thanks for filing your own report! Would you be able to tell us which mode is broken, that is, the one that is chosen when it is "Out of range"? Running "xrandr --verbose :0" on the ctrl-alt-F1 console while X is broken should tell.
