I encountered this behaviour in the released version of Karmic Koala, Ubuntu 9.10. I installed in a VirtualBox VM and no monitor could be seen. The Vesa driver defaults limited resolution to 800x600. I had to supply an xorg.conf with sweep frequencies, not a good feature of a popular distro recommended for newbies. Can the default sweep frequencies be raised to include the more often used 1024x768? w3schools reports that only 3% of humanity use 800x600 while most use higher than 1024x768.
