The situation with Lucid on this Averatec laptop is unchanged. However today I tried booting the Fedora 13 i686 live CD. As before, with Fedora and Ubuntu, Linux started up in a 1600x1200 mode, with only the upper-left 1024x768 corner of the screen showing, but I was able to use the System>Preferences>Monitors dialog to select the desired 1024x768 mode.
What is important is that I was able to switch in and out of text consoles - ctrl-alt F2 through ctrl-alt-F6, with alt-F1 switching back to Gnome. I'll attach some files which may show up some module versions that are different from the ones on Lucid.
I've added an archive containing lspci -vvxx output, /var/log/Xorg.0.log, and the output of rpm -qa, which lists installed modules and versions.
