I have a brand new Ubuntu 12.04 installation, but my resolution is set to 800*600 4:3 and my resolution using windows xp is 1440*900 but that option is unavailable for me. When I search for restricted drivers, there are none. So I searched the ati website and downloaded a .run file of about 80 mb. but that gave me an error when I tried to open it. I downloaded some fglrx thing from the repositories and now there are some widescreen options available but still no 1440*900

there is some ATI controlpanel installed, but when I try to open it, it fails telling me that there is now suitable driver.

ps. my video card is a 512MB ATI Radeon Sapphire X1600 AGP
