Hi there,

Im a newbie on Linux, and installed today Fedora Core 4 on my Acer Aspire 2003WLMi everything works fine except the resolution, im not able to change it to 1280x800 like in windows, if i do it, it screws the monitor...

So im stuck on 800x600 :|

I know this problem seems familiar in here, for sure it's a "newbie-like-problem", but i did search here and in google and didnt find a "good" answer that helped me to solve this problem.

Maybe i need to update gfx drivers, since I have an Ati Mobility Radeon 9200, but dont know what drivers to download or install..

Can anyone help me on this?

Thanks in advance

Today I found a very usefull tutorial, and updated my gfx drivers, rebooted and then I was able to use 1280x800, but I cannot change it, although it's working on 1280x800 the "toolbars" dont seem to work ok, I cannot use the menu.. and they seem to be stucked on 800x600 size, here is a screenshot that shows it;

Now I can only access things on console, and really dont know what to do.. gnome-display-properties doesnt allow me to change resolution!

As I said before, Im newbie and now I dont really know what to do.. can anyone give me some tips/help? :P

Thanks in advance
