Unable to display, Millions of Colors, Generic LCD R720N, Fedora Core 3
# uname -r
2.6.9-1.678_FC3
Appreciate any assistance, with a Rosewill R720N LCD Monitor,
w ww.rosewill.com/product/product.aspx?productId=37
Getting it to work in any Depth higher than 8 256 colors in xorg.conf
My only choice in getting this unknown Monitor working at all, durring installation, of Fedora Core 3, was to choose Generic LCD Monitor 640x480 256 colors.
Once in X I was able to raise the resolution to 1280x1024
Although any higher Depth, is unusable and requires a reboot and recovery of xorg.conf

figured it out, installed the RPM from ATI driver download then combined xorg.conf and the XFREE86config-4 file created by ATI. if you install ATI driver RPM. I did get a couple of errors on the install but it seems they are written for an older kernal, so I ignored them
here's my blended /etc/X11/xorg.conf
# Xorg configuration created by system-config-display

# file minus the extension (like ".txt" or ".db"). There is normally
# no need to change the default.
# Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together)
# By default, Red Hat 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of
# the X server to render fonts.

Fixed by changing AGP to 4x
The solution that worked for me was to change the speed of AGP in the bios from 8x to 4x.
The other fix. http://images.linuxquestions.org/que...cons/icon3.gif
