sorry for 3 messages but i could barely add anything with the refresh problem so now im writing from my laptop. i looked at the xorg.conf and saw these lines (II) RADEON(0): Max desktop size set to 2560x1600 (II) RADEON(0): For a larger or smaller max desktop size, add a Virtual line to your xorg.conf (II) RADEON(0): If you are having trouble with 3D, reduce the desktop size by adjusting the Virtual line to your xorg.conf
my monitor has a max res of 1680x1050. so could that be the culprit? -- [R520] xserver-xorg-video-ati 6.9.0 causes blank screen on r500 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/252383 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
