currently, on my 1280x800 display gateway laptop, i need to run
the vesa driver and get only 1024x768 because, if i try to run the
radeon driver, i'll get my full resolution, and my session will
last maybe 10-15 minutes before finally locking up, at which point
the only response i can get is moving the mouse around the screen
verrrrrry slowly but nothing else, requiring a power cycle. (the
vesa driver will, of course, work perfectly for days on end.)
Had similar problem with screen resolution running vesa driver.
Check your /etc/X11/xorg.conf In section "Screen", subsection
"Display" in line Modes add "1280x800" and restart X-server. That
(probably) will do the task.
currently, my xorg.conf file is the extremely spartan:
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "DontZap" "false"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "vesa"
EndSection
which gives me perfectly functional 1024x768. and i remember trying
various combinations to try to get to 1280x800 and failing. if you
can give me an exact setting for xorg.conf to try, i'll give it a
shot. but i recall messing with that for a while and never getting
vesa at 1280x800. i'm definitely open to suggestions.
Have you tried without an xorg.conf at all? I get 1280x800 that way, one of the
few things I do like about F11 video. Sort of like deleting PulseAudio to get sound.
