Rest ok.. Please let me know how to configure resolution...

aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf --resolution=0,1440x900

(I think you need root permission, but not 100% sure)

Restart X.

Does it work?

 

[Dark Star]

shashwat@localhost ~ $ sudo su root
localhost shashwat # aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf --resolution=0,1440x900
bash: aticonfig: command not found

open display properties and select your monitor as a 19" monitor or even bigger.

Then you will get option for 1440x900 resolution. select the reso, restart X.

^^Display Properties ? Where it is ! ? Can't find in ATI CC and Gnome Menu's ?

 

[Hitboxx]

Search for aticonfig in the repo?

 

[Dark Star]

Not there But ATI Drivers and Control Center is instaled then why they haven't installed aticonfig ? :s

 

[Hitboxx]

what about adding in more refresh rates? 75 hz max? It should definitely do more than that. Then probably you can get more res.

Also try with another Depth 32 section.

 

[Dark Star]

Its @ 75 htz atm .. So should I add 32depth section too / ? ok will try that and come back

Nope nothing happened ! It seems I have to re-install ATI drivers

Downloaded and installed ATI Driver,,, no new options for resolution, but I noticed a Xinerria plugin ..

What to do now !

It's very strange that there is catalyst but no aticonfig.
Did you follow the instructions here to install:
*wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Gentoo_Installation_Guide

(I guess Gentoo's method should work since Sabayon is based on Gentoo IIRC, no?)

Are you sure the ati drivers are actualy in use.?Shouldn't Graphics device section in xorg.conf read as:
-----------------------------------
Identifier "<your card name>"
Driver "ati"
-----------------------------------
