How can I tell the radeon driver to use a custom resolution? I want to use 1280x800 becouse it is the proper aspect ratio for my screen, and it is low enough that the icons and fonts are big enough to see clearly. I know some people will tell me to just increase the size of the font, but I can tell you that I've tried it and I just cant get it to look right. For example increasing font size does nothing for firefox. So you have to go into firefoxes own setting and increase it from there, but then everything looks disproportionate.
Anyhow to make a long story short I was able to do it with nvidia's propriatary drivers using a modeline, but it appears that the radeon driver totally ignores modelines... So how do I get it to change resolutions to something that is not in the monitors DDC?
EDIT: Sorry I fat fingered the thread title. Obviously its supposed to be "resolutions"
