Robert,
'Hold that thought'!  After weeding thru an archaic Linux book I really
"fell into" the Add/Remove Software "Search" tab and only instinctively
entered ati-x11-drv to find a repository...
So, I now have 1152x864 and 1280x800 resolutions to choose from.  -Not ba
d
for a rookie w/ years of only MicroStuff...  Now I see how repositories w
ork.
Thanks.
Al

Robert,
Thanks for the tip, although I find that the " rpm -ql ati-x11-drv" comma
nd
yields message "ati-x11-drv" is not installed.
How do I install this?  I already searched for it via Add/Remove Software
,
but I suspect I have to run a manual download of some kind...
Please advise.
Thanks.
Al

       I  don't  know  about  ATI as I use NVIDIA and I  have  to  do
       'nvidia-xconfig'    command   to   get  a   nice   resolution.

       I  gess  there is an equivalent command for ati and  doing  an
       'rpm   -ql   ati-x11-drv'   will  show   you   this   command.

       Hope this help.
