Comment 47 for bug 186103

As of 11.04 "Natty" Ubuntu, the remaining problem is that the initial display is set at 1600x1200. For Ubuntu with Gnome, the System/Preference/Monitors dialog is accessible, and the screen res can be changed to 1024x768 (see last few comments in bug #495553).

For the unichrome display, only Gnome works for Ubuntu Natty, as this hardware doesn't support 3d acceleration.

This would be a more serious problem with kubuntu, where settings are accessible from a lower panel, which is off the screen.

What is really needed for this kind of hardware problem is manual setting of the initial X screen resolution, such as 'fb1024x76' in the boot command line in some distros.
