Hi,
I have problem with scree resolution, I can't set up more then 1024x768@ 61Hz.

this is my xorg.conf:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "vesa"
EndSection


When i try install driver for ATI web i can see this error msg:
==================================================
ATI Technologies Linux Driver Installer/Packager
==================================================
which: no XFree86 in (/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/lib/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/home/rafal/bin)

Error: ./default_policy.sh does not support version

Thread renamed to reflect the problem.

P.S your card is too old for the ATI/FGLRX driver. ;)

You should be using the "ati" driver (note that this is not the ati propriatary driver - fglrx). Choose "ATI Radeon X1950 and earlier" using system-config-display. You will need to install system-config-display to use it.

system-config-display works on my system. Not sure what the problem is in your case.
