Yeah it looks really ugly, doesn't it? Its got something do with some customization that Ubuntu does. There is a fix though.
Install v86d and hwinfo then follow the instructions from [1] or [2]. You use the hwinfo command to find out the possible resolutions of your screen.
Basically you have to edit a grub file then tell your Kubuntu to use it. I've used it on multiple machines and it works.
