Hi,

I've a Toshiba M30X-131 laptop with Debian Sid
and XFree86 Version 4.3.0.1 running.

The video card is an ATI Radeon 9700. I installed
the recent ATI driver and the module is going to
be loaded.

However, I can't change the resolution to more
than 1024 x 768. When I edit the XF86Config-4 like

[snip]
ModeLine "1280x800" 83.46 1280 1344 1480 1680 800 801 804 828 -HSync
+Vsync
...
SubSection "Display"
                Depth 24
                Modes "1280x960" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
[snip]

and restart X, it's just running with 1024x768 and I get an entry
in /var/log/XFree86.0.log :

(WW) fglrx(0): Mode 1280x960 is out of range.
Valid mode should be between 320x200-1024x768

Any ideas how to fix this problem?

Thanks
Chris
