Public bug reported:

The problem that i have noticed (which has annoyed me for a few
releases) it that my laptop has a native screen resolution 1680x1050
(x1600 ati video card). It refuses to load x on boot and always gives an
error.
The only way around this is to use the alternative image installer to
install ubuntu, then after it has finished installing to go to a bash
terminal and edit the xorf.conf and change the screen res to 1024x768.
Then install the ati restricted drivers to get the correct screen res
back.

Based on this, i would say that the vesa driver that is being used does
not support 1600x1050.

Is it possible to do something to either resolve this or do something
clever  that makes it possible to use the normal live cd with this
screen res as i am sure this will irritate a lot of potential users and
make try another distro (or go to windows).
