I'd like to use the native ati driver, Unfortunately I can't find any available driver about this card on the internet. So that I must choose another way to use this card. I configured the vesa driver in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and then start the X. I got the following message in /var/log/Xorg.0.log: ... (II) VESA(0): First detailed timing is preferred mode (II) VESA(0): redX: 0.575 redY: 0.359 greenX: 0.319 greenY: 0.532 (II) VESA(0): blueX: 0.155 blueY: 0.129 whiteX: 0.312 whiteY: 0.328 (II) VESA(0): Manufacturer's mask: 0 (II) VESA(0): Supported additional Video Mode: (II) VESA(0): clock: 68.9 MHz Image Size: 331 x 207 mm (II) VESA(0): h_active: 1280 h_sync: 1301 h_sync_end 1333 h_blank_end 1408 h_border: 0 (II) VESA(0): v_active: 800 v_sync: 804 v_sync_end 808 v_blanking: 816 v_border: 0 (II) VESA(0): QUANTADISPLAY (II) VESA(0): QD15TL072 (II) VESA(0): Searching for matching VESA mode(s): (==) VESA(0): Write-combining range (0x0,0x1000) was already clear ... After reading the manual, I add the "ModeLine" line in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf to use the additional video mode: ... Section "Monitor" Identifier "My Monitor" HorizSync 31.5 - 64.3 VertRefresh 50-70 ModeLine "1280x800" 68.9 1280 1301 1333 1408 800 804 808 816 End Section ... and change "Monitor" section as following: ... Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen 1" Device "* Generic VESA compatible" Monitor "My Monitor" DefaultDepth 24 Subsection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1280x800" ViewPort 0 0 EndSubsection EndSection ... OK, restart the X. The X was started, but the resolution is still 1024x768. I checked /var/log/Xorg.0.log carefully, and then I found the following message in the log file: ...

It said "1280x800" mode cound not to be found, but I have added this mode into /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Why it can not to be detected? If I can use the additional video mode, I can use my wide screen under 1280x800 resolution I think. Could anybody give me some hints about how to apply the additional video mode? Thanks. Janvier Pang.
