I just have to get a newer > monitor I guess. In recent releases some default mode lines stopped being generated, so that just requesting a higher resolution in your xorg.conf file won't work. You also need to define appropriate mode lines as well. You can use cvt (or a couple of other programs) to generate mode lines that won't fry your hardware and add them to your xorg.conf file. I have a couple of monitors that I need to do that with. For example: # Xorg configuration created by system-config-display Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "single head configuration" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection Section "InputDevice" # keyboard added by system-config-display Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" Option "XkbModel" "pc105+inet" Option "XkbLayout" "us" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" ModelName "NEC MultiSync LCD2010X" HorizSync 31.0 - 80.0 VertRefresh 56.0 - 85.0 Modeline "1280x1024_70.00" 129.00 1280 1368 1504 1728 1024 1027 1034 1069 -hsync +vsync Option "dpms" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard0" Driver "nouveau" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Videocard0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Virtual 1280 1024 Depth 24 Modes "1280x1024_70.00" EndSubSection EndSection -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
