I agree with your comment about the regular user. Even finding the info can be a bit tricky. For example, I already knew about needing to use "i915.modeset=0 xforcevesa" in the boot line, but I couldn't find it from the front page of the Ubuntu website, even though I knew that there was a page of known issues somewhere. How is an anxious new user going to cope?

@Anyone
I've encountered a few users who are limited to a resolution of 640x480 or so when they use the vesa driver, and yet their machines are older ones that will do 1024x768. My A10 defaults to 1024x768. What can we do to get a higher resolution for them? Adding modelines doesn't seem to do it.
