Re: X11 config problem



Did you try to use ATI drivers, instead of Generic driver ?
If ur card is listed in the following page
http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/linux_8.14.13.html
you should probably tryout their drivers.

But the generic driver should be enough..could be just a matter of
configuration.

I opened a console, run dkpg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86, specified the api driver but it still doesn't work. I'm still in 800*600. Where can i specify my video card?
