Can anybody change the resolution to 1280x800?

[Janvier Pang]

Hi,

I'm not sure my graphic card can use the radeon driver or not. In fact, I
don't care any about 2D or 3D accessoration. I just want to set the
resolution to 1280x800, that's becase my wide screen is LCD monitor and if
you use the resolution of 1024x768, it will be very ugly.

Why do you think my graphic card can not set to 1280x800?

B.Rgds.
