I just had this problem in Ubuntu 7.10 installation. My GeForce 6600 showed only 800x600 screen (both normal and safe graphics mode) and I couldn't switch to higher. In 800x600 there are no visible buttons at the bottom of the screen. I know how to move the dialog above the upper screen edge, but most of the users don't know how to do it. And the just *can't* install Ubuntu. Please sacrifice 10 minutes and fix this. It is great Colin Watson that you offer mentoring, this needs to be fixed fast. Ubuntu is losing users this way. Thank you.
