Description Vincent Untz 2008-04-16 14:39:25 UTC 
I've tried the latest GNOME live cd (what will be beta 1 in a few days), and the X resolution on my laptop is 800x600. It's using the ati driver, as far as I can tell.

Note that the screen supports up to 1400x1050. And with the randr tools, I was only able to go up to 1280x1024.

800x600 is what has been specified and also been detected later as valid mode by the driver. Use sax2 to configure the native resolution, if it cannot be detected neither by SaX2 nor by the driver itself.

Hmm, live cd from other distros give me the right resolution :/
Comment 7 Stefan Dirsch 2008-04-16 16:42:00 UTC 
Maybe they are using a different driver (version) and for sure completely different mechanism to create the X.Org configuration. I don't know.
