I've got an identical machine that I wanted to load Ubuntu onto - and had the same issue.
Specifically, during install the screen goes to full-screen mode, 800x600, and the screen 'folds' over itself so to speak - and the installation boxes do not fully view.
I downloaded the 8.10 live CD, and it did the same thing.
I then proceeded to install in safe-graphics mode and it displays as desired, but in 800x600 mode but not using the entire screen...
Thought you might like to know. I've done a hardware test and will upload the results shortly.
