Fedora 7 problems with Acer Aspire 5670
Hello I am pretty much a noob when it comes to linux,I decided to try it out and I am having difficulties trying to fix the screen resolution on my laptop (I hate this screen res, that is why I do not like fedora so far, but everything else is all right). Just wondering if anyone has some good tips. Also I am trying to install the wireless driver using ndiswrapper but it is not going well. If anyone has any suggestions at all I would greatly appreciate it. I am using Fedora 7 distro, and my laptop is an Acer Aspire 5670.

Add the freshrpms repo to your system, as root type:
rpm -Uvh http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrp....fc.noarch.rpm When done type: yum install dkms ati-x11-drv Edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file for the new driver and some aditional settings, sample file below; Code:
# Xorg configuration created by system-config-display Reboot the system and let the magic happen. |
Thanks for the idea I tried it and it does not work. It errors out after you restart.

what's the error message say?

sorry I tried a different approach. I reformatted my machine and update the flgrx-aiglx from the livna repo and it worked. thanks for the replies
