Acer AO 722 (AMD C60) - native screen resolution Xorg

[lordcox]

Hello

I had instaled 9.1-RELEASE on my Acer Aspire One 722 3G widescreen 11.6" (AMD C-60, RadeonHD 6290).

Under X can't I achieve resolution better than 1024x768... Had search various Unix/Linux/BSD forums and lists, but nothing.

Finally try I many different configurations of /etc/X11/xorg.conf - and correct settings are:

In Section "Module" add value:

Load    "ati"

In Section "Device" change line with driver:

Driver    "ati"

(This is a standard xorg driver, does not require kernel recompilation and changes in bootloader).


Finally, after: startx I have 1366x768@60.0 resolution on my GNOME desktop

Greetings

The Load should not be needed. Actually, it's surprising but good that a HD6290 works at all with the current driver.
