X resolution problems
FC6 i686
Below is the xorg.conf, Problem is , if you go into >Administration >Display and make settings it only allows to set at 640x480 , 800x600 , 1600x1200 and no matter what you set and apply and reboot the computer it will only come as 1600x1200. I want it to come up as 1024x768 .
There must be a bug in Xorg, because Fedora and Ubuntu are having similar xorg problems.
Xorg configuration created by system-config-display

I don't want all those Modes I want the resolution of 1024x768 only.
I have other Linux boxes setup at only 1024x768 with no problems.

OK, then do this:
Code:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "whatever yours is"
Monitor "whatever yours is"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768"
EndSubSection
