im currently using a mobility radeon 9600, and just with simply
installing Breezy i got perfect clarity for my monitor(1280x800)



the downside ive noticed so far is that, me being a gamer, the fglrx
gaming driver  does not support this setting, so if i want to play
games i need to suffer with a fuzzy screen which gives me a headache
