From xorg.conf:
Code:
Section "Device"
    Identifier  "Card"
    Driver      "fglrx"
    BusID       "PCI:2:0:0"
    Option      "AGPMode"               "4"
    Option      "AGPFastWrite"          "True"
    Option      "EnablePageFlip"        "True"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
     Identifier     "Monitor0"
     VendorName     "Dell"
     ModelName      "P1130"
     HorizSync      30-130
     VertRefresh    48-170
     Option         "DPMS"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier  "Screen0"
    Device      "Card"
    Monitor     "Monitor0"
    DefaultDepth 24

    SubSection "Display"
        Viewport        0 0
        Depth            24
        Modes           "1280x960"      "1152x864"      "1024x768"
    EndSubsection
EndSection


Both 1152x864 and 1024x768 work. I don't understand what's wrong. And yes, my card and monitor support that resolution.

Any entries in /var/log/xorg.0.log? (which belong to that error).

Code:
less /var/log/xorg.0.log | grep (EE)


or

Code:
less /var/log/xorg.0.log | grep (WW)

Well I redid the installation because of another problem that was pretty much unfixable. Anyway this time I used the open source ati driver and hey, guess what, everything works like it's supposed to. :roll:
