I cannot set max resolution (1280x800) and I don't have 3D acceleration.
It's a pitty that this card is not in Add/Remove Programs (but there are many other ATI cards)

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately we can't fix it, because your description doesn't yet have enough information.
Please include the following additional information, if you have not already done so (please pay attention to lspci's additional options), as required by the Ubuntu Kernel Team:
1. Please include the output of the command 'uname -a' in your next response. It should be one, long line of text which includes the exact kernel version you're running, as well as the CPU architecture.
2. Please run the command 'dmesg > dmesg.log' and attach the resulting file 'dmesg.log' to this bug report.
3. Please run the command 'sudo lspci -vvnn > lspci-vvnn.log' and attach the resulting file 'lspci-vvnn.log' to this bug report.
For your reference, the full description of procedures for kernel-related bug reports is available at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingKernelProblems . Thanks in advance!

You need fglrx or vesa. There is no support for any of the r500-series ATI cards in an open source driver.

I have a Thinkpad T60 that has the ATI X1400. I'd like to use free drivers instead of the fglrx one. (I've tried it, and it keeps crashing X.)

Initial support for the R500 chipset has been added in X recently. Hopefully we'll get a workable driver soon.
