How do I increase my screen resolution in FC3, I cant get it larger than 800 by 600?
Hey, I just recently started using FC3 on my personal computer on that computer I had no problem adjusting the screen resolution. But i just recently installed it on a IBM server that im using as a workstation and I cannot get the resolution larger than 800 by 600. Ive tried both in Preferences; Screen and also in System, logging in as root. Neither way works for me. PLEASE HELP!! Thanks in advance.

vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Find the section that looks like this:
Quote:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection
|
Make it look like this:
Quote:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection

Or whatever resolutions you think the monitor can handle.

Not what you think, what you know. Look at the manual that came with the monitor or look it up online.
