You can also try to add new modes that were not detected automatially: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1112186 Sometimes that is needed for a combination of video card and monitor. If you know your monitor does 1280x1024 at 60 Hz, you can normally tell this to your Linux box using xrandr, dynmically within the running desktop. Of course, graphical tools using xrandr might helpt you with that. Generally, I really like the Open Source Radeon drivers. I switched from flaky internal Intel graphics to a HD5450 card on my office box, driving 3 displays (the outer ones rotated). Not perfect, but it seems like the best option right now. I avoid binary driver blobs unless I really know I need them (p.ex. for 3D performance). What I don't like at all about all of Linux graphics is that it has gotten really bad with video tearing in default setups. That used to work before that 3D desktop frenzy. Alrighty then, Thomas
