ati 7000 and mepis problem


First of all,hi. I hope you can help me with this question.

I've got the latest version of SimplyMEPIS(3.3.1-1) and a Gecube ATI Radeon 7000 w/64 Mb.I can't get it to work at 1042x768 with my monitor,which is a bit old(by the info I got it's an Amptron Monitor JD144C,model AMPJD144C).Now,is it because of the monitor,or beacuse of the video card? I couldn't find drivers for my card,so I don't know if there is an immediate solution for this...

Thanks for your time.

[EDIT]:
when I as root do
dmesg | grep agpgart
i get this:
root@1[~]# dmesg | grep agpgart
Linux agpgart interface v0.100 (c) Dave Jones
agpgart: Detected NVIDIA nForce2 chipset
agpgart: Maximum main memory to use for agp memory: 439M
agpgart: AGP aperture is 64M @ 0xd8000000
agpgart: Found an AGP 2.0 compliant device at 0000:00:00.0.
agpgart: Putting AGP V2 device at 0000:00:00.0 into 1x mode
agpgart: Putting AGP V2 device at 0000:03:00.0 into 1x mode

I have a A7N8X-E Deluxe as the motherboard.I'm not sure if this helps.

have you gone into the oscenter and checked the "use official driver" dialog yet? if not make sure your repos are up todate by comparing them with this list and updating if needed, then enabling the card, however I hear ATI support is quite a lot better in 3.4rc1 so you might want to try it.
