Why does it crash? What is the error?

I have none handy, and mine uses magic instead, but you can try xrandr
and see if it allows you to switch to a larger resolution (even if the
mode isn't listed, read the output: it says what the maximum resolution
is --- if it is below 1920x1280, you're out of luck (unless the value is
bogus, of course)).

(But i don't know if ati binary drivers are compatible with
xrandr...)
