There are a couple of items that could cause this: 1) the nvidia driver has dropped support for the video card you have. however the xvesa card should work at 1024x768 2) more likely the monitor does not have a DMI probing and so the video driver goes into safe mode of 800x600. There are a couple of ways to try and fix this. 1) Make a custom xorg.conf file with the display set up for it. 2) Use xrandr to do it on the fly xrandr --newmode "1024x768" .... fill in data for your monitor here .... +hsync +vsync xrandr --addmode VGA1 "1024x768" xrandr --output VGA1 --mode "1024x768"x0.0 or something like that. > Upon installing Fedora 12, I discovered that there in > no longer a reasonable way to set anything higher > than 800x600 with Xvesa or the default driver for > Nvidia.
