Notes

Xorg (Changing the resolution to 1280x800 and adding he fglrx driver for 3D Acceleration

$ sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Replace all of the Section "Screen" section with the following code to get "1280x800" resolution.

Section "Screen"
        Identifier      "Default Screen"
        Device          "Generic Video Card"
        Monitor         "Generic Monitor"
        DefaultDepth    24
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth           1
                Modes           "1280x800" "800x600" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth           4
                Modes           "1280x800" "800x600" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth           8
                Modes           "1280x800" "800x600" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth           15
                Modes           "1280x800" "800x600" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth           16
                Modes           "1280x800" "800x600" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth           24
                Modes           "1280x800" "800x600" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
EndSection

It also might be a wise idea to install the fglrx drivers so that 3D acceleration may be supported.

$ sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx

Next, where it says:

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Generic Video Card"
        Driver          "vesa"
        BusID           "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

replace "vesa" with "fglrx"

Finally add the following code to the end of the document:

Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "0"
EndSection

Save the file and close it. You should now be able to change your current resolution from 1024x786 to 1280x800 in "System -> Preferences -> Screen Resolution".

Type "glxinfo | grep direct" and if you get:

direct rendering: Yes

Then you have successfully added the fglrx driver.
