I have totally given up on running Ubuntu on this laptop. I have installed first Fedora 13, and now Debian Lenny. Once properly installed, the screen issues no longer occur, except that both of those systems try to run the screen in 1600x1200 mode, so that installing a custom xorg.conf is also necessary under those distros.

Some distros, such as AntiX, have a boot-time option to select the initial screen resolution. IMHO ALL distros should do this.

I *may* try future betas on this laptop, but don't intend to install Ubuntu on it again.
