1. You can change the resolution in the Options menu. Unfortunately the options menu is only available while in-game. open the console and type "devmap atcs" (without quotes). When the game loads, hit esc and select options. One of the menus in there will let you set the resolution.

2. Have you downloaded the latest drivers from ATI? I think the drivers are here.

3. See #2. Also, the graphics for Tremulous aren't particularly good (not bad, but not great), so don't expect too much from them.

the options menu doesn't know about non-4:3 resolutions iirc. you'll have to change the resolution by opening the console (press ~) and typing:
Code: [Select]
/r_customwidth 1280
/r_customheight 768
/r_mode -1
/vid_restart
