Update: I tried the Hardy beta live CD. 32 bit was no different than what I've already reported, which is what I expected. However, I got radically different behavior with the 64-bit live CD. I was forced into safe graphics mode, with the vesa driver & 800x600 resolution. Manually configuring using displayconfig-gtk ultimately resulted in a correct 1280x800 desktop using the vesa driver. If I forced the nv driver, I could choose from a reasonable range of resolutions (1280x800, 1024x768, 800x600, 640x480), but no matter what I chose I got 640x480 actual resolution. I'm not exactly sure what this means, except that the nv driver is somewhat closer to where I need it to be using 64 bit instead of 32 bit.
