This still applies up through Ubuntu Maverick Meerkat 10.10 alpha-2: The initial screen resolution is set to 1600x1200, so that only the upper-left 1024x768 corner of the screen is visible. It's necessary to use the System>Preferences>Monitors dialog to set the resolution.

In addition, the text console problem described in bug #495553 still occurs up through the 10.10 alpha-2 live CD.

The resolution detection problem occurs for Fedora 13 and CentOS 5.5, but the text console problem does not occur for those distros.

The screen resolution detection problem on my laptop has been reported to Fedora Bugzilla as bug #518907.

I now have Fedora 13 installed on the laptop.
