I assume you are trying to install 10.1 It took me a *week* to get 10.1 to use my ATI card and I almost gave up on 10.1 because of it. I finally: 1) I finally downloaded the ATI binary driver. 2) Used the xorg.conf from the install to at least have something that would work while I tried to configure. 3) Ran sax2 which put the screen into a pretty unreadable mode. 4) Thru guess and trial-by-error I made some selections that finally set my LCD up properly. (1600x1200 was what I needed but all I could get out of the install was 1280x1024) I did get it to work but I immediately switched cards to an NVidia and I haven't looked back. Getting rid of all of my ATI cards. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
