try to fix that. Hmmm... there is no xorg.conf file???"

For the ATI Radeon HD 4850/4870 cards and your monitor, you should do the usual:

1. Xorg -configure
2. Check for  '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'

Make sure you have this in your xorg.conf file under the "Screen" section:

        SubSection "Display"
                Depth   24
                Modes   "1600x1050" "1400x1050" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "640x480"
        EndSubSection

Either the Xserver or your monitor may default to a 'recommended' resolution 
setting versus the 'maximum' resolution setting. Seems like it is working for 
you otherwise! ;o)
