My VGA card is ATI Radeon 9100 IGP, which should be supported. While booting, I choose either Gparted Live with default settings or Gparted live with Safe graphic settings. Then in the main screen I enter Fluxbox menu and mange to select Exit X so that I can give the command sudo Forcevideo. Here it says that the driver is vega, and I enter ATI. Furthermore I can select different resolutions. Then returning to the main Gparted screen the result is always the same: the size of the virtual screen did not change and I only see the upper left part, so that I cannot interact with the main Gparted window. Any suggestion is appreciated When I start Gparted, the resolution of my screen is wrong: it is as if the virtual screen is much larger than my actual screen and I only see the icons on top and a very small part of the main window.

Is there anything special I have to do to the unallocated space - does it have to be formatted? - does it actually have to be a partition? Would provide you with a screen shot but I don't know how. Any help/references would be appreciated.
