Ubuntu Installation on a wide screen laptop

I am not sure if you own a laptop or not, if you ever had the same problem that I had when I install Ubuntu. So here is my experience with the feisty installation.

The desktop installer cannot boot up properly as it was unable to detect the monitor/screen properly. The GDM cannot start. So this is what I did. I downloaded the alternate installer and installed the Ubuntu using that. As expected, the GDM did not start up. So using Aptitute, I installed 915resolution.

After reboot, it worked. The GDM started properly and I am back online in Ubuntu!
