I am using the standard opensuse ati driver called "radeon". I've been using this driver for several years with the same card but with an 17" CRT monitor with resolution 1024x768. I never experienced any problem with it.
My TFT is set according to the manufacturer's instructions (20" monitor, 1400x1050 at 60 Hz. The only thing I can think of that the graphics card is not powerful enough for changing the screen fast. I don't think it is trying to change resolution.
I will try the monitor with another more powerful card.
I doubt a "more powerful" card is a good solution to your problem. My 20" Viewsonic LCD is 1400x1050@60. When I first got it 2 years ago I was using a 4MB Tseng PCI card designed in 1996. It gave no problem in framebuffer, DOS or OS/2, but did for a time have a problem in Mandriva's X that eventually got fixed: https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=34619
Will yours work OK if you boot a Knoppix CD? Have you tried commenting out the UseModes line in xorg.conf?
Istvan, Also, don't forget you can use the gtf utility to create a custom mode line to use in your xorg.conf: 01:30 alchemy~> gtf usage: gtf x y refresh [-v|--verbose] [-f|--fbmode] [-x|--xorgmode] x : the desired horizontal resolution (required) y : the desired vertical resolution (required) refresh : the desired refresh rate (required) -v|--verbose : enable verbose printouts (traces each step of the computation) -f|--fbmode : output an fbset(8)-style mode description -x|--xorgmode : output an Xorg-style mode description (this is the default if no mode description is requested) -- David C.
