I have a computer with an Intel 815 which took the FC5T3 installation
alright. There were no 640x480 or 800x600 problems that it seems you are
having.
Did you check the legacy video settings in BIOS?
I didn't specifically check for that, however, I went throught he BIOS
thoroughly since I wasn't familiar with that brand of BIOS. I could
have missed such a thing however.
Are you trying to
install the test version or FC4?
I started by install FC4 release, then yum`ed my way to
updates-released, rebooted (problem remained), then yumed my way to
updates-testing.
My computer is a PowerSpec, but has Intel video. similar soundcard and
similar Ethernet card.
I am considering a few options:
1) this is as a result of me installing FC4 over a KVM. This has causes
slight monitor configuration problems before, but I was then able to fix it.
2) The drivers for this particular card are buggy. I popped in a Knoppix
disk before installtion, and it too complained about the video card
(somethign about incorret mode sent) and it only went up to 800x600.
Just to clarfiy, I have tried various settings at and above 1024x768
they are all either badly scaled, or do not consume the screen (leaving
approx. an inch top and bottom on my 19inch screen).
I ensured that the montitor section in xorg.conf was as my main machine
(as they share the same monitor).
Should I bring this thread over to fedora-testing-list? I have since
registered there.
An updated FC4 without updates-testing would qualify for resolution on
fedora-list. I checked updates-testing and no xorg updates were in the
repo. There are a lot of discussions in the list archives. Adding
"noaccel" as an option was one listed.
Personally, I found 24 for depth and 1280x1024 worked best for my
purposes. I believe I adjust my monitor for vertical and horizontal
sweeps not filling up the entire screen. You can adjust these settings
with the menu button on most monitors.
