I have none handy, and mine uses magic instead, but you can try xrandr and see if it allows you to switch to a larger resolution (even if the mode isn't listed, read the output: it says what the maximum resolution is --- if it is below 1920x1280, you're out of luck (unless the value is bogus, of course)). (But i don't know if ati binary drivers are compatible with xrandr...) -- Nuno J. Silva gopher://sdf-eu.org/1/users/njsg
