Both Xati and Xvesa say they support 1400x1050, but only Xvesa will
actually work with it specified. How would I go about "loading the
radeon framebuffer driver"?<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 6/20/05, <b class="gmail_sendername">Eric Anholt</b> <<a href="mailto:eta@lclark.edu">eta@lclark.edu</a>> wrote:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
