Does the ATI Radeon 7000 support 1440x900?

[Alberto Venturini]

Hello,
I've got an ATI Radeon 7000 video card, and I use it under Xorg/Linux. I
want to buy a new LCD monitor which uses the 1440x900 display mode.
Does anyone know if my card will support the 1440x900 resolution?

If more information is needed, here's the exact name of the video card (as
reported by "lspci"):
ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV100 QY [Radeon 7000/VE]

Thank you,
Alberto

The card is capable of it, but it will not of course be specifically listed
as being a standard resolution. The monitor drivers determine this. .

No, that older card is not powerful enough to support that high of a
resolution of today's LCD monitors.

Again spreading BS, DaveW? Still wanting to let everyone know you don't
know shit?

FYI: the Radeon 7000 runs fine at 1440x900 and even at higher
resolutions like 1680x1050 and 1920x1200. And of course it's fast enough
for everything 2D at these resolutions. And also the drivers support
widescreen just fine, but only list these resolutions if they detect a
widescreen display connected to the gfx card.
