Newbie here with ATI card

Hi guys,

New to Linux, new to Ubuntu, and new to this list! Welcome everybody!

I have an ATI Radeon 9600 RV 350 card... and the problem is I cannot
do Gutsy to run it above 60Hz.

I installed the recommended restricted ATI driver,

I als o found this resource
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto

Changed my monitor refresh rate in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
to 30-96 from the previous 30-70

Then I went down to the section "ATI - Refresh Rate & Resolution QuickFix"

Applied the recommended changes:

sudo  aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf
sudo  aticonfig --resolution=1600x1200,1280x1024,1024x768
sudo  aticonfig --force-monitor=crt1,notv

The second one,
sudo  aticonfig --resolution=1600x1200,1280x1024,1024x768
did not work, sent the following error message:
Error: Section # expected
aticonfig: parsing the command-line failed.

Also applied
sudo  aticonfig hsync=Screen0,30-96

So, that's what I did, and my eyes still blinking of the 60Hz refresh rate...

What shall I do next?

Thanks in advance,

Nelson
