I have a sis chipset and I have this problem too. I booted with Beta2 Live CD and selected at boot options 1280x800 mode (my laptops native resolution). The splash screen obeyed, but when X started it was running at 1024x768 and I could only select lower modes, not any higher ones.
I used the installer at the live CD and the installed system suffers from the same symptom. However I got the correct resolution when I first installed Flight6 from the Install CD. So I guess that means the text based installation has better chances to detect the correct video modes. -- Incorrect screen resolution in Dapper LiveCD https://launchpad.net/bugs/31830 -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
