Good Day Ladies & Gentlemen,

Ive got a problem with configuring my xwindows (using RH9)
on my dell notebook. Its an Inspiron 500m. The problem that
I'm facing is that it wont budge from its 800x600
resolution. On windows, it can go up to 1400x1280. On RH9 I
cant even go to '1028x768'.

Ive tried configuring the monitor using dell generic laptop
display '1400x1280' and '1280x768'. Every time i change the
resolution higher than '800x600' it woudl crash the xwindows
and I configure it again. Ive even tried with 'generic
laptop display'.

Other than that, Ive also tried using 'vesa' driver for the
display. I think the inspiron 500m is using an Intel 812i
display. Ive also tried disbling the VGA something mode in
BIOS. I could start the x windows using '1280x768'. but the
display is only fixed in the middle of the monitor. In other
words its not streached across the screen.

I would appreciate any help to solve this problem as im
almost giving up with this notebook. Any help is greatly
appreciated.

Thank you in advance.
