I have the same problem and just tested with the latest mainline kernel [0]. The problem wasn't fixed.
I also tried different propietary driver versions (I am using fglrx) and the open source radeon driver, both of which showed the same wrong behaviour. I think I should be able to fix the problem by just forcing a mode with a manually written xorg.conf and will try that later.

Using the nouveau driver with kernel mode setting correctly set the resolution of the display, as indicated in the gnome-control-center -> display configuration utility, but the display appears to running at a much lower apparent resolution. Text is almost unreadable, everything appears incredibly "fuzzy". I attempted to use the proprietary nvidia drivers, and after using the nvidia-xconfig utility to generate a xorg.conf file and restarting the machine it is indeed using the proprietary driver and hardware acceleration is working, but the fuzzy condition persists. I am using Ubuntu 13.04, I have updated all the packages.
