First things first. What module did you load for the card. My guess (because I
did this myself) was to use "ATI", but you need "RADEON". And, in the
sysinstall setup for video, you most likely selected "vga", sometimes "vesa"
works better!
Now the fun part. If you look in Xorg.conf, you will see the screen resolution
selections.(Sorry, I will let you find that setup file for yourself=better to
remember for future changes!) Yours will indicate "640x480". This will need
to be changed to the resolution your monitor will support. But all this is in
the X docs, give them a good look. They are complicated, but repeated study
will reveal the answers.
Don't Forget to use the propper Mhz for the Vertical and Horizontal
capabilities of your monitor. Very important if the monitor is older and
lacks limit protection, easy to fry the monitor! This is all so complicated
at first.
Please give the X docs a little study time and you will "see" the answers.
Tough learning, only challenges builds the mind!
