following up on an earlier post, the only way i could install f11
beta on a new gateway m-1626 with a 1280x800 display and a radeon
xpress 1270 video chipset was to select "simple video driver."
now that the install is complete, "xdpyinfo" tells me that i'm
running at 1024x768 and i can't see how to switch to full 1280x800
resolution. selecting "System -> Preferences -> Display" gives me
resolution choices of only 1024x768 or 800x600. "lsmod" shows me that
the radeon driver is, indeed, loaded.
the entire contents of /etc/X11/xorg.conf is:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "vesa"
EndSection
which i assume is the result of having selected the simple driver at
install time, yes? is there a graphical way to adjust this, or should
i fix this by manually editing xorg.conf?
