I have a similiar problem which *might* be a way for developers to experience what's happening when autoconfiguring fails: I'm trying to set up a virtual machine with Sun's VirtualBox and Ubuntu 8.04. First of all, the direct installation doesn't work, but that doesn't matter here. So I installed Ubuntu 7.10 first (remark: the display was set to 1280x1024) and then I updated it to 8.04 without installing any updates first. The effect was, that after the update the resolution was set to 640x480. Since then I managed to get a resolution of 800x600 but that's not really nice either. The thing that's really pissing me off is this: after editing xorg.conf manually I get at least 1024x768 on the Login-Screen, but as soon as I'm logged in, the resolution is set back to 800x600, and that's just stupid.
