Restart your computer. When grub shows up, go to the ubuntu entry. Instead of pressing enter here, press 'e'.
Now scroll down to the entry where something like following is given

kernel   vmlinuz-2.4.xx ro

The above is just an example it may vary in your case.
Now press 'e' again and add 'lowres' at the end.
Now press esc and then b.
This should help but it is only a temporary solution. I will have to search for a permanant one. Or wait for someone else to post it.

Just log into one of the virtual consoles (f1 to f6) and type sudo xorgconfig and change the refresh rates of your monitor and then restart X

If you don`t know the refresh rates check your Manf website

DO NOT RUN sudo xorgconfig. It is not "The Debian Way". Do

on ubuntu 5.x

sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

on ubuntu 4.x

sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86

Also, xorgconfig wont work on 5.x since that program is not there ! And it is a CLI program, which is confusing for new users.

Just check the Bios setting of your Video RAM. It must be 8 MB or more with 256 colours,
