Me too.

I agree that this issue should be considered serious. It 100% affects
the usability of Ubuntu. I can (barely) cope with the issue for a short
time, but it * IS * a deal-breaker if its not fixed in the Beta.  I was
also using 10.04 Alpha (1 or 2, don't recall), and I was NOT having this
issue on the same computer & exact same hardware.

lspci says my video card is: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV100 QY
[Radeon 7000/VE] [1002:5159]

I am also using the analog (d-sub) connector on the monitor. 
My "exact steps to reproduce the issue" are to install 10.04 Beta1 on a desktop computer with an ATI video card that connects to an LCD monitor with a DVI -> VGA(D-sub) cable.  Load any web page, and notice that the page is completely washed out. html color "lightgray" becomes pure white. Any other light-ish pastel color become white. Text box borders are not visible. No amount of adjustments to the display brightness and/or contrast help at all. "xgamma -gamma .6" makes it more bearable, but only marginally.
