Video card not recognised
Hi
I've installed Sarge (with the 2.6.82 kernel) on a P3 using DVDs.
After installation, and entering KDE 3.3, I found that I only had
800x600 and 640x480 screen sizes available.
When running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86, the monitor has been
identified correctly, but the video card - a Radeon 7000 with 64Mb - has
not.
By manually entering values into the dpkg-configure, I can achieve
1280x960 and 1024x768 options, but the refresh rate is only 60Hz.
I note here:
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Hardware-HOWTO/video.html
that the card is supported in XFree86 4.x.
How do I "encourage" my installation to recognise the video card?
