I have two PowerEdge 2900s with ATI es1000 chips in them. X starts and runs well. But...
I have tried almost everything to get the resolution above 1024x768. No luck. I remember with the old Rage XL cards you had to add the "reference clock" option to xorg.conf to allow for X to start and display properly. Maybe I'm missing something here? I don't need anything fancy, no acceleration or anything, just need a normal, readable screen resolution.
I have also tried manually setting the horizontal sync and vertical refresh rates in xorg.conf. I can get the resolution up to 1024x768, but that's it. I can get 1280x1024 in Windows on these machines, so I know the card will support it.
It would be nice to have more than one terminal open on my desktop.
I also might mention that I use VESA + vidcontrol in syscons and can get a MODE_283 console! I believe that's above 1280x1024 resolution. So the card works.
I have to be missing something as I have searched incessantly on Google for an answer.
Quite a few servers out there have these chips, I know there is a solution out there.
I would post my xorg.conf, but it wouldn't do much good as nothing I've tried has worked.
I am absolutely certain that I am using the "radeon" driver though.
