It's happening to me with the (release) Ubuntu 6.10 amd64 live CD. =) (Mind you it's been the same for me in Dapper as well.) I'm not stuck in 800x600 though, I get 1280x1024 at 75Hz.
I don't know if I'm prepared to go to the lengths Matt Philmon took to it working. However I have attached my xorg.conf (generated by the Live CD), as it shows that my monitor's preferred resolution of 1680x1050 is listed for all modes. This resolution isn't available via the "Screen Resolution" task in the Preferences menu, though. Monitor is a ViewSonic vx2025wm, attached to an ATI X1600XT. I have not yet tried changing from the vesa to fglrx driver, or adding sections to xorg.conf to try a 32-bit colour depth, as this is all still running off the LiveCD at the moment.
