I have now corrected quite a few things, even some bugs from the past
(#16472 login screen resolution)

My platform 
AMD64
ATI Radeon 9200 graphics card
Real-Time kernel
ATI free driver.

I did the following:
read and tried to follow these how-to's to create a new xorg.conf file.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto

Used gconf-editor to set screen resolution

At the end, I got:
- proper Start-up login screen resolution,
- proper Desktop screen resolution,
- ability to use the 'gnome/preferences/Screen Resolution' Dialog,
- decent 3D acceleration from the free ATI drivers (not using the closed-source 
binary drivers).
- no errors in the /var/log/Xorg.0.log.
 
This is an improvement to where I was in Gusty, since I never managed to get 
the Login screen to show the proper resolution.

I would be happy to help you guys to make this work better for the next
upgrade! It seems to fail for nearly everyone every time.

I attach my xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log files in a tgz archive for
your reference.

Cheers,
GF
