Hi, I have a problem in that I cannot change the screen resolution to anything other than 800 x 600. This is the spec of my box: * Compaq Presario SR1879UK * AMD Athlon 64 x 2 4200+ * 2 Gb SDRAM * 300Gb SATA HDD * ATI Radeon X1300 Pro graphics card * Samsung SyncMaster 710v monitor In SaX2, Card and Monitor Properties it gives me: * Card: VESA Framebuffer graphics * Monitor Samsung SyncMaster 710v/710m Syncmaster Magic CX701BM * Resolution: 800 x 600 * Colors: 65536 [ 16bit ] I can change the resolution to anything I like and save the new configuration, but when I restart the X Server, to see the changes, the setting has returned to 800 x 600. Is there some way I can change this. Many thanks.

What system are you running? It is not recognizing your ATI card.

Sorry Bruce. My bad. I'm running SuSE Linux 10.0. How do I find and install the drivers?

Which ISTR **should ** mean it will provide hardware mpeg decoding ! Please let us know how you get on with it. I'm running an X800GTO here on a AMD 64 with no problems but the ATI driver only supports h/w mpeg decode on the newer X1*** based boards.
