If things work with Debian and not with Ubuntu then the problem is
with Ubuntu. You may have to dig in specific aspects and file bug
reports on Ubuntu.
I tried playing with many distros today and found out that Knoppix, Debian
Squee.. and BackTrack were able to give me Full resolution others were
not. Funny thing one of my Favourite OS (Fedora) did not even boot on it.
I have a similar problem with an Intel server motherboard with an ATI
video chipset. Although the LCD monitor connected to it supports up
to 1280x1024, none of the distros tried so far go further than
1024x768. After some digging around I have found that the kernel
KMS needs to be compiled with an ATI flag that is not present in the
distros (openSUSE and Debian) I have tried till now. This could be
your problem. Compare the config files of the kernel from each
distro and see what diff between them throws out.
