How would I know to do that? Why can't the script do that?

I ran that command and was informed:
aticonfig: No supported adapters detected

Checking the wiki, I ran "modprobe -r radeon". As a result my display now
has the wrong aspect ratio (800x600 on a 1280x764 display).

This is seriously broken.
