Hello,
Im having a problem with resolution at arch linux. I can't put anything else than 800x600 or 640x480. I installed ati drivers and I still have the same problem.
Here is the output of xrandr
[root@myhost ~]# xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 640 x 480, current 800 x 600, maximum 800 x 600
default connected 800x600+0+0 0mm x 0mm
800x600 61.0*
640x480 60.0
I tried to edit xorg.conf and I edited it like this but it didn't help

I want to use 1280x1024 resolution, my graphic card and monitor should support it since I'm using this resolution on windows XP(dual boot)
Don't link me to wiki because I already searched it and tried everything provided there but it didn't help.
THANKS

Try to run X without any xorg.conf. It might just work.

shouldn't you be using the ATI driver (instead of vesa) ??
If people do not believe that mathematics is simple, it is only because they do not realize how complicated life is.

For future posts, you should put files and the like in "code" tags. Just saying. It's there for a purpose.
Back on topic, +1 to what quarkup said. The standard vesa driver is not likely to fully utilize your graphic card's potential, and that may include the resolution capabilities. I would suggest looking over and making sure you've closely followed http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI.

@graysky - I tried, doesn't work.
@ataraxia - i tried, when I run it without xorg.conf the resolution is "1024x768", it's not good comparing to my monitor. I would need "1280x1024".
@quarkup - I installed ATI drivers, pacman -S xf86-video-ati, I'm not sure if I needed to install xf86-video-radeonhd maybe, I have ATI Radeon HD 4650
@majiq - I will be using code next time, I tried everything I found in the wiki alread but it didn't help.
Do I need to install ati or radeonhd if I have "ATI Radeon HD 4650", I mean pacman -S xf86-video-ati or xf86-video-radeonhd. I installed ati but now I think I need radeonhd, can I just install radeonhd with pacman or I need to remove ati drivers 1st, if yes, how I can remove them?
Thanks
