Graphics

Works fine with

# pacman -S xf86-video-ati

but works even better with xf86-video-ati-git from the AUR.

Setting resolution

 xrandr --output LVDS --auto

Setting monster resolution

work in progress....

yaourt hwd

sudo hwd -x

Now some template xorg.conf lives in /etc/X11

In the new xorg.conf Add/replace under Section "Screen"

Section "Screen"
       Identifier "Screen0"
       Device     "Card0"
       Monitor    "Monitor0"
       DefaultColorDepth 16
       SubSection "Display"
                  ViewPort 0 0
                  Virtual 3056 1824
                  #Depth     16
       EndSubSection

EndSection

And in the name of the holly hand granade: remember to that the x and y in Virtual 3056 1824, should be a multiple of 8 or 16(old cards maybe 32) and maybe set the driver to Driver "radeon" in the Section "Device" restart xorg hack:

setxkbmap -option terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp

then ctrl-alt-backspace

Google talk video chat:
