Try to install Ubuntu using the alternate CD instead - it will let you install it in text mode and select desired screen resolutions during the installation

If you hold the alt-key, you can move the windows around by clicking and holding the left mouse button anywhere on the window.

Hello Satya,

Try what Johnny suggests. If it does not help, you can get the alternate CD there: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download (don't forget to enable "Check here if you need the alternate desktop CD"
