Code:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV34M [GeForce FX Go5200 64M] (rev a1)

and no problem with the vesa driver.

Please provide all sections "Screen", including all subsections "Display" of your xorg.conf.

The same way you provided the extract of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf included in your first post.

Include the entire content of that file in your next post, it will be OK

For GeForce FX cards

su -c 'yum install kmod-nvidia-173xx xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-173xx xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-173xx-libs'

Install nvidia drivers was *not* necessary to get 1024x768. Still, I guess you didn't send the *whole* content of /etc/X11/xorg.conf as I asked for. And the link you provided is broken.

Anyhow, if the nvidia driver is properly installed you should have now installed nvidia-setup or something like that. Try using it to setup your screen size.

Otherwise provide the *whole* content of /etc/X11/xorg.conf

it is strange thing happend

when i reboot i lost kernell 2.6.27.9-159.fc10 i686

and i use the Previous kernel to open fedora

is it any way to reinstall kernell 2.6.27.9-159.fc10 i686 ; or fix it again ?

If you have a new problem please open a new thread and provide useful information, e.g. output of uname -a.

Then as long as your computer works, why bother which kernel it uses ?

thanks brother

Code:

[root@samhost Desktop]# uname -a

Linux samhost.localdomain 2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686 #1 SMP Tue Nov 18 12:19:59 EST 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

So you have a working kernel. You may upgrade if you want but unless you really need it -- e.g. for security reasons -- that's not urgent. Meanwhile did you solve your screen size issue ?

Take care
