The above is the only question that I have, the below rounds out why I
am asking and the other options I had considered or explored.

The card I am using is a Radeon 6570 which I know is capable of better
resolution than what I am getting.

   I am not sure what happened as I have been out of touch with this for
sometime. I have been using an Nvidia card in the last few years and
that did the trick.

When it decided to fail I decided to go back to an ATI card, since they
have an open source driver.

Aticonfig doesn't appear to work for the radeon driver. I saw the
radeontool but that didn't appear to help either but frankly I am not
sure how to use it. There is no manual page for it apparently and I am
not sure which registers to set nor what to set them too.

I tried the AMD/ATI proprietary driver but it fails to build the kernel
module then asks for a reboot. Reboot and presto all there is, is an
error message. I had to uninstall it to get back to runlevel 5.  In any
case I also gather that kmod-radeon or catalyst is no longer available.
Its a shame but what can you do.

   So I am back to my original question: Is there some sort of
configuration that needs to be done with the Radeon Driver to get
resolutions higher than 1280 x 1024 ?

Thanks,

Thanks for the suggestion. It turns out the radeon driver was not loading at all. I got that worked out by getting rid of nomodeset boot parameter, but still had issues with bad graphical distortion. I ended up chatting with a helpful fellow on freenode #radeon. Equally stumped after looking at my dmesg and xorg log then suggested adding radeon.dpm=1 boot parameter(turns on power management). Now its working.
