Get 1280x768 resolution in Fedora?

[thehstrybean]

I've put on Fedora Core 4 x86_64, and I can't get the 1280x768 native resolution to work. It's on my laptop, and it looks really bad in 1024x768. How can I get my native? I've used the Livna repository & the ATI driver, but still havin problems. Help?

Change the LCD to Generic with your native res.

Then change the actual display res.

Restart X

use system-config-display as root and choose your monitor if it is listed or choose a generic monitor with your native resolution.

The generic doesn't have my native, and I don't know what model my LCD is...It's on a lappy...

100% positive. How can I get Fedora Core 4 i386 on my lappy? The main reason I'm tryin Linux is to try the new Novell Client for Linux, and it won't work on 64-bit, so I have to go 32. It won't recognize my VMware drive, so thoughts?

Edit your xorg.conf.

Long sigs make me sad. 🙁

i386 Fedora will install on your laptop from the i386 installation CDs just like normal.

Also, shorten up your sig.
