Ubuntu 9.10 and ATI Rage 128 graphics card
Howdy All,
So I am trying to get 9.10 setup on a friend's older system and for some reason the system will not go beyond the 800x600 resolution with this graphics card. (On WinXp it did 1366x768)
I have the r128 driver loaded and lsmod | grep r128 confirms that the module is loaded so I am at a loss as to why it cannot get into this higher resolution. Per some advice I found online I generated an xorg.conf using X --configre and here is what I currently have:
Code:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "X.org Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Been awhile since I worked with ATI on linux so I am feeling out of sorts, any help would be fantastic.
