I recently (April 2006 or May 2006) posted a message about this issue to the ubuntu-devel mailing list, and I was told that it's not possible to use a high resolution framebuffer because that would break compatibility with certain older hardware. Too bad, but we can probably manually install Upower - http://nanofreesoft.org/ - as a solution when that becomes available for Dapper.
