Ati catalyst mint7 and resolution problem.

Post by Mike65 »

Hello!
I was installed mint 7 succesfully, then activate the ati proprietary driver. My problem is that my monitor shows 1280x resolution with 60hz, but i want 1024x768 with 100hz and i cant change it using catalyst, because changes dont take effect. i try to start gnome monitor resolution, but it dont even start. (my exerience with ati catalyst installed it dont work otherwise) I have an ati radeon hd3650 and a samsung syncmaster 796mb monitor. I cant give my xorg.conf right now, because i try to give it a modeline manually and x is crash at startup.

edit: i was restored it from backup, so here it is:

Code: Select all

# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.

I don't know how, maybe with the replaced xorg.conf, i can setup the resolution with gnome's application. But this is only 85hz and there is no 100hz option. Can i try to add a modeline manually or it isn't too safe?
