Hello, I just recently tried to use the open source ati driver (the radeon module) for hardware xacceleration with x11-drm. It works; and I have direct rendering; but the resolution of the screen is less than 800x600! I have set it to 1025x768 in the xorg.conf but no matter what I do it makes it at a resolution less than 800x600 (probably 640x480, I'm not totally sure).
has anyone else had a similar problem?

Here is my xorg.conf:

Code:

Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier     "X.org Configured"
        Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
        InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"

EndSection

thanks to those who read; I found out that all I had to do what to set the HorizSync and the VertRefresh in the monitor section to make it do 1024x768.
Hope if some one else has the same problem they look here! :P
