I can confirm this for Edgy. I am using a Dell D620 with the GMA 950 and I can't even get the live part of the desktop CD to load the GUI so I install the system.
For the record with Dapper, I was able to run the live and install, then install 915resolution package to get the 1440 x 900 resolution. -- X.org doesn't detect widescreen resolution https://launchpad.net/bugs/63551 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
