This is still a problem in Karmic Beta. I recently attempted a clean
install (starting from a live desktop session) on a Dell C800 with an
ATI Rage Mobility M3 and 1400x1050 monitor and saw the 'overlapping
display' problem when X was started so did not proceed with the actual
installation

The nature of the problem can be seen clearly on the page below

problems-with-ubuntu/

Prior to this installation attempt, the laptop already had a working
Xorg.conf customized after the same problem was found after installing
Hardy last year. This was copied to USB before the laptop was wiped
during an installation from the Karmic alternate install CD  and copied
back to /etc/X11 once the installation had been completed. This resolved
the problem.

Several attachments follow:
