Yes, you can install the driver on the live CD (explained in comment 26)
but installing Jaunty is good also.
You get poor resolution because the EDID information from the monitor
can not be retrieved, and X falls back to conservative settings. You
will need to add sync ranges to your xorg.conf manually. You can file a
new bug on this, although I don't think there's anything we can do about
it. There will be a GUI for adjusting this, probably in Jaunty+1.
However, the startup failure seems to be fixed by the patch in my PPA
which is also applied upstream, so I'll mark this bug Fix Committed.
** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-savage (Ubuntu)
Status: Confirmed => Fix Committed
