I tried the http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/20070402/feisty-desktop-i386.iso image.

HW : radeon 9500

First it booted with the radeon driver. Then I changed the resolution from 1280x1024 to 800x600.

Then I changed xorg.conf to use the vesa driver.

I restarted X and :
 - login screen appeared
 - then desktop appeared distorted

I gues what happened is :
 - login screen appeared at some resolution
 - the desktop tried to switch to the "remembered" 800x600 and that borked the vesa driver

Conclusion : changing resolution with vesa driver is still broken (at least on my HW).
