[Bug 305138] [NEW] low resolution in GUI using after installation from Live CD

[Shirish Agarwal]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

Hi all, 
 I couldn't boot normally when I wanted to install Intrepid using the Live CD. 

I had to do the following procedure :-

a. Booted and tried booting into the Intrepid Live CD
b. Failed, then rebooted, this time used F2 to boot into safe-graphics mode. 
c. The screen wouldn't fit in the 640*480 screen and had to use tab and trial-and-error to install the OS. 
d. Booted into 640*480 screen
e. Did updates and rebooted again.
f.  Rebooted and still it was 640*480 
g. Then edited /boot/grub/menu.lst and deleted where it says xforcevesa
h. Then I'm able to enjoy the whole range of resolutions. 

What is expected behavior :-

a. The Live CD should have booted without going into safe-graphics mode. 
b. Even if it goes into safe-graphics mode it should give me the whole screen on my CRT monitor 
c. After installation it should not have booted me into 640*480 

I dunno if this workaround is something which would have to be performed
every time I install.

Please lemme know what other info. is needed.
