I've bought a Vaio VGN-FW12G few days ago.
I installed Fedora 9 on it. My screen is WXGA++ with a size of 1600x900 pixels. I can see the whole page in my screen, but it seems to be something wrong with it. For example, pictures on the internet are extremely wider than the real size. I've searched for it and configured my xorg.conf file in /etc/X11 folder. But no change. Here is my xorg.conf file:
# Xorg configuration created by system-config-display
I searched and installed my graohic card driver, ATI.
Now I can see images with their real size. But still there is another problem. And that is when I go to the Display Window, it says that myscreen resolution is "1360x768". The ratio is same as "1600x900" and because of the same ratio I can see everything correct.
Can I have the "1600x900" resolution in my Fedora?? Maybe I want to see HD Movies!!!
