Hi everyone!
I have a problem with setting the screen resolution 1280x1024 on my ATI Radeon 9200. I read that the driver does not support these model. I want just to replace the card. Tell, please, where you see the list unproblems compatible video hardware. Thanks!

Try
Just to see what happens. Maybe works. Maybe not. Your screen will black out for a few seconds. It won't hurt nothing though.
You might get a not available mode message at the worst.

xrandr -s 1280x1024You might get a not available mode message at the worst.

Thank you very mutch for your help but it all is for nothing. before asking a question, I spent quite a good search of possible solutions. Software is not solved: videodriver does not support my hardware. The solution is replacing the videocard.

AGP video cards and hardware are not my strong suit.
Sorry also. Hopefully someone else knows more than me.

In my previous desktop PC I had an Ati Radeon 9200 SE & AntiX 13.2. With the older versions of X I have used a vesa hack to specify the size of video memory (videoram=128000), and had a custom xorg.conf with resolutions up to 1360x768. I have enabled the vesa and radeon driver. You may get old enough X & drivers from Debian stable or old stable. Use xrandr to configure resolutions.
After an upgrade, with the latest greatest X in Debian testing, the solution above didn't work. So I have deleted xorg.conf to avoid 'No screen' error, and set video mode as a boot option. See vga=ask option in grub for possible resolutions. 1280x1024 used to be avalaible. See also ' sudo hwinfo --framebuffer ' output. / edit: Mode 0x0324: vga=804 or vga=0x0324 /
X used to pick up the resolution used by grub, if nothing else is avalaible. In that case it uses the vesa driver, wich should be installed. (something like libgl1-mesa-glx glx-alternative-mesa libgl1-mesa-dri libgles2-mesa )
