I have Fedora Core 3 installed on my Dell Latitude D600. So far everything is great, even my wireless LAN card ws easy to get running. Now, my problem....

What Momitor type should I choose under the hardware settings? I have tried all of the Dell Laptop devices as well as the generic ones, but I can't get the resolution to go above 1024x786.

Resilutions above that are presentin in the option list, I can even select a higher resolution (1280x1024) but restarting only reverts back to 1024x786. Now the wierd part! If I go back to set 1280x1024, it's indicated that the higher resolution is already selected! I can get the higher resolutions to be remembered in the option list after selecting them, it's just the actual resolution never goes above 1024x768.

Any suggestions?

From the sounds of things, it sounds like this can be either a hardware issue OR a software issue.

Are you sure that your monitor supports modes higher than 1024x768?

Yes, under XP (notebook has both OS's) I can get resolutions up to at least 1280x1024 perhaps even higher, though I haven't had any reason to try.

Since 1280x1024 is easily supported under one operating system, I didn't anticipate any issues getting the same resolution under another OS.

in display settings, set you monitor type to "Dell 1400x1050 Laptop Display Panel". D600 should be similar enough to my m600.

Been there, done that, got the t-shirt.


Still at 1024x768
