Lenovo T61P with Fedora, can't get to highest resolution :/


Hey,

I have a Lenovo T61P, my screen supports 1900x1200 resolution (it works fine under windows) but in Linux (I use Fedora) I can't find a way to get into this resolution,

xrandr shows '1680x1050' as the highest resolution,


I tried to create an xorg.conf file with setting 1900x1200 resolution manually but it does not work as well,


Any clue?


Many thanks,


Asaf.
