I have a winbook a215 laptop running FC4 (2.6.14). ATI Radeon Xpress 200m video. I can't get the ATI drivers to install, and now I can't even get the Vesa drivers to give me the full resolution on the screen.
The monitor supports up to 1280x800. I have set it that way in the config and verified that mode shows up in xorg.conf. But when I go to configure desktop and select that resolution, it won't let me. ONly offers up to 1024x768......

The flgrx kernel module was obtained from Livna. lsmod output shown to confirm fglrx is loaded. Note that DRI is disabled in xorg.conf and I am only interested in running full resolution so others are removed...I don't need 3D and I
confirming. Compaq Presario v2040us. Works perfect with livna ati kernel module. Actually the native screen resolution (in my case 1280x768) is not supported by vesa driver, though 1280x800 is.
