Now I had some time to install Gutsy and try it.

1- LiveCD's Ubuntu Splash is shown in low resolution, but once installed, the 
same splash is shown in 1280x1024.
2- X boots straight into 1680x1050 :D :D !!!!!!! (and BTW Compiz Fusion worked 
flawlessly with my sh**ty Radeon 9600XT with the great Radeon open source 
driver (I'm about to try the restricted drivers manager and install fglrx, and 
then try to see if there's an easy way -- say, through Alberto Milone's repo -- 
to install the latest AIGLX-supporting fglrx).
3- The 6 virtual terminals tty1 .. 6 use low resolution (not even 1280x1024).

Please notice that xresprobe is not reporting "crt" as disptype anymore
(it's an empty string now, don't know if that's any good).

I understand that ttys are not a priority (they are not really used by
normal users), so that's not important.

Is there a way for the console and splash to support resolutions higher
than 1280x1024? Last I checked, vesafb was used and that was its
limit...

Thanks Bryce for your work. I attach for reference my new ddcprobe's,
resprobe outputs and an 800-line tail of Xorg.0.log.
