Can anybody change the resolution to 1280x800?

[Janvier Pang]

Thanks for your kindly reply.

I tried your options, I found that my card can not apply the "radeon" or
"ati" driver. If I use one of them , the X could not to be started, it said:


(EE) No devices detected.

I read the manual, my card is not in the list of radeon or ati driver.

Any ideas about change my resolutions to 1280x800? I tried several days, but
i still can not change it. (I can change my resolutions to 800x600 or
640x480, but not 1280x800)

B.Regs.
