* I have tried to download the new beta release and the problem persists :-( I have tried to press "F4" before booting the live/install CD and choose 1600*1200 (both 16 and 32 bit).. The boot progress apears to be in the correct resolution, however when it start gnome to display the desktop it reverts back to 640*480
