** Summary changed:

- Radeon 9200 SE "not synchronised signal" with usplash and consoles with 
1280x1024
+ ATI "not synchronised signal" with usplash and consoles with 1280x1024

** Description changed:

  Ubuntu 6.10, x86
  
  I installed Ubuntu 6.10 to PC with LCD monitor (HP LP1965) that supports
  native resolution 1280x1024, 60Hz.
  
  # lspci | grep VGA
  01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV280 [Radeon 9200 
SE] (rev 01)
  
  During graphical Ubuntu boot, LCD monitor cannot handle video signal,
  frequency is probably too high (higher than 60Hz). I get "not
  synchronised signal"
  
  I had the same problem with Ubuntu 6.06.1 but that was installed with
  analog monitor so I met problem after monitor change; Ubuntu had no
  change to detect LCD monitor and configure Ubuntu in proper way. When
  booting with usplash or when trying to access any console, I get "not
  synchronised signal"
  
  I think that Ubuntu should detect that LCD monitor is installed during
  install and configure kernel for LCD display. Or to use lower monitor
  frequency during Linux boot by default.
  
  Workaround : change resolution in /etc/usplash.conf to 1024x768 and run
  'sudo update-initramfs -u' or add (vga=791), like this line in 
/boot/grub/menu.lst:
  # defoptions=quiet splash vga=791
  
- It has to be done manually and "update-grub" updates kernel lines in 
menu.lst; 
- Ubuntu cannot do this during install, it is a bug from my point of view.
+ Also reproduced with Radeon Xpress 200
