While still on the Live CD, I did: apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx
(which installed gcc-3.3-base, libc6-i386, libstdc++5 and xorg-driver- fglrx) I then changed the driver from 'vesa' to 'fglrx' in /etc/X11/xorg.conf and did Ctrl+Alt+Bckspc ... and it worked, I'm in 1680x1050. Only at 60Hz and 24 bit colour but I'm sure I can work on that. =) So, I suggest that the bug is with xorg-driver-vesa.
