You can edit xorg using this command in the terminal.

gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

I am having the exact same issue with my ATI rage 128. I just installed mint Gloria and I am a very new to linux. Xorg.conf has the same output as posted above, and only can adjust display settings to 800x600.

One of my machines has an ATI Rage 128 Ultra (16 MB) video card in it. I have set it manually as seen below:

Code: Select all

Section "Device"
Identifier   "Configured Video Device"
Driver     "ati"
Option    "AccelMethod"     "XAA"
EndSection
These settings work for me, but you may have to add a few more options depending on exactly what hardware you have. I have used these exact settings with both a CRT and LCD monitor at 1024x768 with no further modification. Good luck.

After making those changes, still 800x600 max resolution. Checked the Xorg.0.log file and it appears that it was loading a "r128" that listed the rage 128 devices prior to my making any changes. I'm just going to live with it for now at 800x600 as it is just going to be a server box anyways.
