how to make fedora support my laptop's monitor?


Hey,

I want to ask how do i make fedora support my laptop's monitor?

It's a ASUS laptop A7DB series.

i've tried suse 10, but i asssumed it was the grpahics card then, it's a ATI.

just so u know when i install fedora, it picks up the ati graphics card n i continue installing via the crt.
not the laptops
