ATI Radeon Xpress 200

[firenice03]

Video on YouTube plays correctly, fonts are blurry on the forum and desktop, display settings are at 1024x768, the other options are lower.
I want to use 1440x900 as it is correct one for this monitor.

I have tried selecting the proprietary driver, this does not alter the view, and the display resolution choices remain at 1024x768 maximum.

Is there a driver available that is not listed that would resolve this ?

Driver, no not really... LL2.x series has better ATI/AMD support (as its based on 14.04)..
I was able to set the resolution on the 6005 in my sig by modifying the xorg.conf file to the resolution I needed..
- I noticed with a different monitor attached this wasn't necessary - but that wasn't the plan...

So I too was stuck at 1024x768 and needed at least a 1280x1024

*Note some resolution may not work and could inadvertently leave you in a unusable state - I would typically correct in tty, using nano to edit the conf file (does require sudo)..

Here is a copy of my xorg.conf file in the /etc/X11 folder..

I tried various resolutions and mhz/refresh rates settings that worked best - knowing what your monitor supports is ideal.
