Strange that the same hardware works flawlessly when running windows, then? (i.e. 2560x1440 resolution in 60Hz). Unfortunately I've not been able to run on that computer lately, so I don't know if it has been fixed or not.

When starting the installer {and also the installed OS for the first time}, the resolution is 740(?)x400. Most config-applications have more information than what fits on 400 pixels in height. Which makes it really hard to change the resolution, one has to guess how many tabs to press before pressing enter. In addition: The highest resolution found by default is 1680x1050 or something. No resolution matching 2560x1440 is available. I'm guessing that is the problem: first check the ratio, then find the highest available resolution matching that ratio or something.
