I still need to troubleshoot. Since vesa can't provide the needed resolution, I at least could test, if the frequency would be ok. "The current version of Catalyst doesn't support xorg-server 1.13 at the moment. Catalyst < 12.6 doesn't support xorg-server 1.12." - https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AMD_Catalyst Regarding to http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx I need Catalyst version 9.3 and Quantal's X is versionn 1.13. spinymouse@qrc:~$ fglrxinfo X Error of failed request: BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation) Major opcode of failed request: 153 (GLX) Minor opcode of failed request: 19 (X_GLXQueryServerString) Serial number of failed request: 12 Current serial number in output stream: 12 spinymouse@qrc:~$ lspci | grep VGA 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI RS690 [Radeon X1200 Series] spinymouse@qrc:~$ ls /usr/src fglrx-9.000 linux-headers-3.5.0-17 linux-headers-3.5.0-17-lowlatency I suspect that for Precise there also is a conflict between Catalyst and X. I guess I have to get a config for the radeon by trial and error.
