Ubuity Install Fails Improper Display Detection / Crashes

Binary package hint: ubiquity

On Gutsy daily 6/10/7 using LiveCD i386 32bit on my system that has a single Sony G520 21" Trinitron CRT. A 640x480x61hz display is shown that prevents a user from operating the live cd install as they cannot access the nedded buttons and other areas of the GUI to progress the install. Further, when the user attempts to maximise the install window it does not maximise and does not fix the problem with not being able to continue the install.

If a user tries to change screen resolution in the preferences menu no other screen resolution is shown. If the user tries to fix the problem with the new screen and graphics option in the administration menu selecting detect results in a GUI window saying the livecd user has to log out, and on closing that window, it crashes. Manually trying to set the monitor as plug and play or a Sony G520 also results in the same GUI log out notice (which cant be done due to the livecdsession) and repetable crashes everytime.

Also at 640x480 even though the user is selecting system in the menu panel, evolution or the Ubuntu help will be shown. The user has to start at the ubuntu button and move across to the right to actually enter the system menu at this low resolution.

The net effect of these problems means I am unable to install Ubuntu using the livecd and am now trying the alternative daily build as a work around.
