I'm currently installing Ubuntu on a system from 2001. The installer
doesn't figure out that my monitor and video card can display 1024x768,
and refuses to let me choose any screen resolution higher than 800x600.

The trick of un-maximizing the window and using Alt-F7 makes it possible
to actually install Ubuntu. Thanks for the tip, everyone!

Given that not everybody's graphics card / monitor can be auto-detected
out of the box, it might be nice to have support for lower-resolution
screens. The Fiesty installer is amazingly nice; it's sad to have it
trip up over something so tiny.
