However (and it's not clear from your original query) you may have at the top of the X screen 3 buttons, one of which is "System". If you click on this, then "Preferences", then "Screen Resolution" you can change it. I tried this on my 1024x768 TFT monitor, and it worked (though the result was a bit ugly).
The problem is that the install program expects a screen resolution of 1024x768 but the live CD only allows 640x480 or 800x600 with the Matrox card I happen to have on this system.
Or maybe Ubuntu 7.04 has changed its layout so that those 3 buttons are now at the bottom of (and therefore off) the screen? In which case you won't be able to follow the above, of course.
It turns out that ALT-LeftButton allows the installer window to be dragged which allowed me to complete the install.
I now need to get a serial mouse working with Ubuntu.
