Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-vesa

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation NV31
[GeForce FX 5600] [10de:0312] (rev a1)

xserver-xorg-video-nv v1:2.0.0-1ubuntu3

Nvidia FX5600, Dell D1226H monitor, Sony XBR800 TV

With Ubuntu 8.10, neither LiveCD or Install work in default mode, due to
this bug in the nv driver: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/309702

I can use Safe mode (IE the VESA driver), but the only resolution
available is 640x480. I see the Hardware Driver notification, but when I
click on it, the window that opens doesn't fit on the screen, so I am
unable to see or click on the Activate button.

Kubuntu 8.10 doesn't have this problem. It still only offers 640x480
with the VESA driver, but the Hardware Drivers window is fully visible.

** Affects: xserver-xorg-video-vesa (Ubuntu)
