Accessing 1680x1050 in Slack 12.2 (Radeon HD 3870)
Hey all,
I have an ATI Radeon HD 3870 card, which allows up to 1680x1050 resolution, however the default/maximum resolution available in my display settings is 1024x768. I'm not certain what information will be useful in diagnosing the problem, but here is some info from my xorg.conf: Section "Monitor" HorizSync: 31.5 - 50.0 VertRefresh: 40 - 90 Graphics Device Section Identifier: "VESA Framebuffer" Driver: "vesa" Screen Sections DefaultDepth: 24 SubSection "Display" Depth: 24 Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" Thanks a lot for any help. |
Search again with:
- gtf command - "Monitor", "Screen" section in xorg.conf - Check current resolution with xrandr command |
Use the radeonhd driver in your xorg.conf.

Sorry, I'm quite new with Linux -- I don't understand what either of you said to do.

You could also try running xorgsetup
which you have to do as root user. |
Change this

Changing "vesa" to "radeonhd" did the trick. That was surprisingly simple :) Thanks a lot.
