Received my new LCD screen today, it's a wonderful Acer 1714. Problem is that I can't get X to use 1280x1024, I keep getting 1024x768, which doesn't look as good. A fragment from X log:
(II) fglrx(0): Total 4 valid mode(s) found. (--) fglrx(0): Virtual size is 1024x768 (pitch 1024)
I suspect this is the problem ? But I can't find any reference to what my default mode should be in XConfig-86 file.
I have a Radeon 9500 and installed fglrx module as described on Suse's FTP site.
If you are using 9.1, it uses xorg configuration, not strictly Xfree. Use the really crude gui configurator--/usr/X11R6/bin/xorgconfig-- to create /etc/xorg.conf. Run as root. I started by copying /etc/XF86Config to /etc/xorg.conf. Monitor resolutions start working, mouse starts working properly, keyboard on mine is still not repeating keystrokes when held, but, oh well.
