F7 Dell D610 Video Config Problems
 
I installed Fedora7 and can't get the system to recognize the resolution 1400x1050. I have installed 915resolution and have tried pretty much everything I could find via google. Any help would be greatly appreciated. So far I love Linux but if I can't get the resolution increased I may go back to windows. I am very new to Linux so that being said please step me through any trouble shooting tips.

Here is my settings.

914resolution
# Mode to overwrite
RESOLUTION="3c 1400 1050"

xorg.conf

Section "Monitor"

Here's a thought; since you want to target 1400x1050 why don't you strip out the non-essential entries for 1024x768?

Make a backup copy of your xorg.conf and then pare down your Screen section to something like:

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Laptop Screen"
Device "Intel i915"
Monitor "14inch TFT"
DefaultDepth 16
SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1400x1050"
EndSubSection

Then there's no question what resolution your X session grabs.
