Same here in my Dell Inspiron 9400 (Intel 945GM + 1440x900 LCD screen). I was able to boot in graphical mode using "safe graphics mode" in Dapper, but it no longer works in Edgy or Fesity Herd 1. When monitor sync ranges are defined in xorg.conf, it boots in some usable resolution (1024x768 in my case).
