Screen Resolution problem

[hellknight]

Hey guys I just purchased a new system with the following conf:-

AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+
AMD 690G chipset based motherboard
250 GB SATA II HDD Seagate
2 GB RAM @ 667 MHz
ViewSonic 1912 W widescreen 19" LCD

now the problem is that none of the distributions that i've tried is able to detect the optimum resolution i.e. 1440 x 900. I've tried Ubuntu, Fedora, SLED, SUSE etc. but no success.

Please help.

get the ati drivers for linux from their website.

In Feisty, you can try the Restricted Drivers Manager. It must fetch you a decent enough driver and fix your issues.

Aw but he is facing problems only with Linux! And that's why it is in the OS section too.
