What is your monitor? Is it Play and Pray compliant? Does it tell X11 the correct information?Daniel Blakemore wrote:
I am new to fedora and to linux in general. I know a little bit of bash because I have a mac but not enough. I just installed fedora core 10 i386 netinstall (the dvd-rom drive on this computer is thoroughly dead: stops reading and needs to be unplugged and plugged back in every thirty of so seconds), on an AMD with 1GB of RAM and a GeForce 5200 FX.
When I try to change the resolution, the drop-down only goes to 720x400.
I tried installing the nvidia driver and it broke X beyond what my linux friend can fix. I did a fresh install and now I have the same problem.
Please help.
I have no problems getting higher resolutions on my F10 system (with a Radeon 7000 driver), and a Dell Dimension 4300 using a Live CD.
Which "nvidia" drive did you try and install? Was it an RPM from RPMFusion or ATRpms? Or did you try the nvidia installer?
Thanks a bunch,
I used the .run driver from nvidia's website for 32-bit linux:
NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.18-pkg1.run
I ran system-config-display, or whatever it is called, to make an xorg.conf, and it knows the correct monitor model number and driver, it knows the graphics card model. When i go to System>Preferences>Hardware>Screen Resolution, the screen is labeled unknown and I can't see beyond the resolution drop-down because the window goes below the screen.
It was plug an play for my vista machine and this mac. It is a AOC 2230Fa LCD.
