*** Bug: ***
I have exactly the same problem with the ATI X1300:
System->Preferences->Resolution only offers 640x480 and (default) 800x600.
What I would like is to use 1280x800.

*** Situation ***
Just unpacked my brand new 13,3" notebook (from ahtec) with ATI Mobility Raedon X1300.
Threw in Ubuntu 7.04 (downloaded 29 May 2007). All fine, but resolution is too low, also after using the restricted driver option.

*** Tried ***:
I tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg,
gave in the default where possible,
and changed the resolution to 1280x800.
No success... Couldn't start X anymore:
The last error msg was :
"
Fatal server error
no screen found
XIO: fatal IO error 104(connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0" after 0
request (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining
"

I also tried keeping the original xorg.conf, but simply changing the modes (resolutions). Doesn't have any effect at all.

In the (falsly?) mentioned duplicate bug (#89853) somebody speaks about time-issues... could that be a lead.

Can someone help me get ATI Readon Mobility X1300 to 1200x800 ?
Thanks a lot in advance!
