I have Fedora Core 3, and I am trying to use a Sony sdm-p234 monitor with its native resolution which is 1920x1200. Any help is appreciated.
I can't get anything better than 1600x1200 which is the wrong aspect ratio.
I have made multiple changes to my xorg.conf file, the only one that seemed close was adding this change that I found online:
Section "Modes"
Identifier "16:10"
Modeline "1280x800" 83.46 1280 1344 1480 1680 800 801 804 828 -HSync +Vsync
EndSection
This was still the wrong resolution, but it was the only thing that did give me a wide aspect ratio. I tried changing some of the numbers and any change bring back 1600x1200.
I have also found modline generators online, but I don't know enough about this type of thing and I can't make anything work.
Here is my current xorg.conf file. It displays in 1600x1200, and it is 1920x1200 that I need. I generated the Modline with the help of this site

# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the

# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:

# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"

# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
