I've been trying to move from Centos 7 to fedora.
My monitor is 1440x900, but fedora only believes it's 640x480.
1. What kind of video card is this?
2.How is the video connected to the monitor? (DVI/HDMI/DisplayPort/VGA)
3. What kind of monitor is it?
4. What version of Fedora and is Fedora trying to do X or Wayland?
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82Q33 Express
Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
OK most of the references I see to this card are before 2014, so I am not
sure if this gets any testing in Fedora anymore. The resolution on the
monitor is 'odd' compared to what the various drivers are listed to support
(640x480, 1024x768, 1920x1080) so again I am not much help here.
Acer V193w
Fedora 32, X
Sometimes if Fedora can only go to generic 640x480 the video card is no
longer 'supported' by the various X11 drivers.. or the data that the
monitor is returning to say what it can support is coming back as
640x480.
Finally this may do better on a fedora mailing list (but they will ask
the
same questions). For a CentOS viewpoint I would ask if it happens if you
run CentOS-8 (try via a live cd) on the box. If it does happen, then it
is
a problem between Fedora-18 and Fedora-28. If it doesn't happen then it
is
a problem between Fedora 28 and the version of Fedora you are trying.
IIRC Centos 8 does not have a live version.
Fudge, I should know that. Sorry for a wild goose chase. I would see if the
CentOS8 installer goes into X with a larger than 640x480
I just managed to install to an SD card.
Default Centos 8 gives me 1440 x 900.
Installing to a removable drive would seem
a useful substitute for a live CD.
At one point Centos 8 or Gnome gave me a screen with a big date and time on it.
Could not figure out what to do with it.
Had to reboot.
