Public bug reported:

With LiveCD Xubuntu 8.10 worked ok in 1028x768 resolution, in case boot
did not jammed to black screen.

Then I tried to install Xubuntu by using workspace icon. Installation
jammed during loading of partition wizard. Instead, Safe Video mode
installation succeeded, but resolution is only 800x600@60Hz. VESA
drivers were installed. Both logon screen and workspace are 800x600.
Workspace covers the screen only partially.

I tuned the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf according to issues #48732 and
#7804, but did not get rid of the problem (see extra comments). Now the
resolution of the logon screen is 1024x768, but when system sets video
settings (just after login), workspace changes to 800x600 scaled to the
whole screen. That is also the largest resolution to select in GUI
settings.

I tested resolutions also with parameters
HorizSync 28-51
VertRefresh 43-60
.. without success.

Then I started LiveCD once again and copied xorg.conf file from LiveCD
system to the installed system (with help of USB flash memory). But it
was useless, problem continued.

"sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" did not help either.

How to set the resolution of 1024x768?
