Yes I have been running SaX2 from within KDE, I'll try running it from a virtual terminal and see if that makes a difference. I haven't been using the test settings, if just been saving and restarting x to let the changes take effect. If I test any changes then I can't make changes without my desktop messing up. The ATI Catalyst Control Center makes changes with the driver.
I'm not clear how sax2 and the catalyst control center are related in making changes to your video settings. If possible I would try to stick to one. (Like I said previously I have no experience with ATI cards, but with nvidia sax2 just seems to work).
Thanks for your help, and your time you managed to help me get a better idea of my problem.
You're welcome. I hope you get it fixed (be sure to let the list know if you do).

Don thank you again, your last suggestion did the trick, of course it wasn't easy, but after fighting with the ATI driver, 5 hard restarts (holding down the power button until it shuts down), running sax2 -r 5 times each time the system locking up and the screen turn all kinds of funky colors, I now have a screen resolution of 1280x800 at a aspect ratio of 16/10. Everything is back to normal again!!!
