I have a winbook a215 laptop running FC4 (2.6.14). ATI Radeon Xpress

get the Vesa drivers to give me the full resolution on the screen.
The monitor supports up to 1280x800. I have set it that way in the
config and verified that mode shows up in xorg.conf. But when I go to
configure desktop and select that resolution, it won't let me. ONly
offers up to 1024x768......
This is the only part that isn't working right, but I am struggling. Any
help is appreciated.
Josh,
The video-specific portions of the xorg.conf shown below are working
with 2.6.14-1.1656_FC4 (x86_64) on my HP zv6233. The flgrx kernel
module was obtained from Livna. lsmod output shown to confirm fglrx is
loaded. Note that DRI is disabled in xorg.conf and I am only interested
in running full resolution so others are removed...I don't need 3D and I
confirming. Compaq Presario v2040us. Works perfect with livna ati kernel
module. Actually the native screen resolution (in my case 1280x768) is
not supported by vesa driver, though 1280x800 is.
