Check wheter your display card supports the resolution that you are trying to configure.
Your system may only be able to use the resolution it supports
for more info please search google.com/linux specifying your display adapters make and gather more info about the card
You may also try installing official ATI drivers from the ATI web-site

Yes, it does support it, I am trying to chance the resolution to 1024 x 768.

First I had 5.04 OS and there I could chance the resolution but not in 5.10.
ATI's site says I already have the latest drivers.

If you have SSH running cann you SSH in from another computer? I would recommend looking at the Xorg.0.log files as well.

Can you help with this problem?
