You may need to use ATI's driver. Look for it in "Hardware Drivers" or "Restricted Drivers". See what is available in Synaptic.

You can change resolutions from a command line with xrandr. Type it and you will get a list of available ones. Then, choose one like this:

xrandr -s 1024x768

This was the SAME problem that happened to me, no matter how much i clicked to change the resolution, nothing happened. Type "xrandr -s 1024x768" in the terminal as "top" said or restart your computer.
