First things first. What module did you load for the card. My guess (because I did this myself) was to use "ATI", but you need "RADEON". And, in the sysinstall setup for video, you most likely selected "vga", sometimes "vesa" works better! Now the fun part. If you look in Xorg.conf, you will see the screen resolution selections.(Sorry, I will let you find that setup file for yourself=better to remember for future changes!) Yours will indicate "640x480". This will need to be changed to the resolution your monitor will support. But all this is in the X docs, give them a good look. They are complicated, but repeated study will reveal the answers. Don't Forget to use the propper Mhz for the Vertical and Horizontal capabilities of your monitor. Very important if the monitor is older and lacks limit protection, easy to fry the monitor! This is all so complicated at first. Please give the X docs a little study time and you will "see" the answers. Tough learning, only challenges builds the mind! Don
