Bug Description
When I booted Gutsy Gibbon (final) live CD, my ATI (ATI Technologies Inc RV370 5B60 [Radeon X300 (PCIE)]) came up at 800x600. When I launched the install application, all the buttons were hidden (below the lower border). I managed to get past this by hiding both the top and bottom Gnome bars, but that might not be obvious to all users. I could not change the resolution without changing the screen model, which requires a reboot.
Perhaps Gutsy could check the maximum resolution prior to full boot, and switch to a smaller font/style if it's less than a certain minimum resolution.

I tested this bug with a ATI MOBILITY radeon X300 and it didn't happen. It seems to just happen with the ATI radeon X300 at this time.
Does Ubuntu apply a different resolution after the installation or you have to set the parameters manually?
