OK, lets just calm down and start over:
1. I did set the driver to ati (there is a bug in the settings panel as well,
the dropdown and listbox are not in sync)
2. It always reverts to failsafe and use vesa drivers. There is no other
behaviour.
3. The logs are always the same. You have them.
You are wrong. There is no log file for the ati driver. The screen jumps
immediately to the 1400x1050 resolution.
I think we give up on this.
Maybe you are the wrong person to bother in the first place. I should
get acquainted to how X, gdm and Gnome interact. Maybe then I understand
where the
Looking closer at the lspci output you already provided I think you have a card
with PCI ID 1002:9581
This card is not recognized by the ati driver, which explains it's picked up by
the vesa driver instead. The card is not even in the pci.ids file. Can you give
more information about this card?
I apologize, I must have mixed up some bug reports, I was sure you had a
different card. Actually you never said what card you have. Can you please run:
lspci -nn|grep VGA

I would like to see the log where the ati driver tries to start. Which
one is that?
Please do not use the gnome tools (they will make an xorg.conf), just
delete the old xorg.conf. After restarting X, and once the failsafe
things have started a new vesa session, the ati log will be
Xorg.0.log.old
In your logs I can see you are using the vesa driver. The vesa driver
can not use 1680x1050 (it's not part of the VESA specification). Please
try the ati driver and attach new logs.

Your card should work fine with the open-source driver. Only R5xx based

Try the ati driver without any xorg.conf and attach the Xorg.0.log.

Excuse me if my tone gets rough but I have tested Ubuntu for 7 days
without any break
1. Gnome ignores whatever you write into xorg.conf
2. If Gnome cannot set the resolution it falls back into some catchup routine
to adjust the settings to some failback
3. There is an xorg.conf attached

Keyboard and resolution can be set in xorg.conf, but they will be
overridden by Gnome if it has settings for it. Try gconf-editor to hunt
down these settings.
It would be important to know if the driver itself finds (and uses) the
right resolution: restart X without any xorg.conf and log in to a

I do not need to change my keyboard settings. They are correct.

on the web but they are inaccurate to say the least.

I don't understand. You always fall into failsafe terminal so why do
