Is there some sort of configuration that needs to be done with the Radeon Driver to get resolutions higher than 1280 x 1024 ? My system looks like crap at that resolution but its seems to be the best I can get.

The above is the only question that I have, the below rounds out why I am asking and the other options I had considered or explored.

The card I am using is a Radeon 6570 which I know is capable of better resolution than what I am getting.

I am not sure what happened as I have been out of touch with this for sometime. I have been using an Nvidia card in the last few years and that did the trick.

When it decided to fail I decided to go back to an ATI card, since they have an open source driver.

Aticonfig doesn't appear to work for the radeon driver. I saw the radeontool but that didn't appear to help either but frankly I am not sure how to use it. There is no manual page for it apparently and I am not sure which registers to set nor what to set them too.

I tried the AMD/ATI proprietary driver but it fails to build the kernel module then asks for a reboot. Reboot and presto all there is, is an error message. I had to uninstall it to get back to runlevel 5. In any case I also gather that kmod-radeon or catalyst is no longer available. Its a shame but what can you do.

So I am back to my original question: Is there some sort of configuration that needs to be done with the Radeon Driver to get resolutions higher than 1280 x 1024 ?

Thanks,

Max
