installed on shuttle

onewhoknows · 05-12-2004, 03:36 PM

This is my first time setting up a Linux machine...

Is 1600x1200 not possible on this machine right now? I installed Fedora and set the resolution to 1600x1200. At the login screen, the resolution is clearly set to 1600x1200, but once you log into X-windows via GNOME, the resolution gets set to something like 1024x768.

The shuttle is running an onboard video card w/ the Intel 865G chipset.

I've tried setting the memory to both 16MB and 8MB, but it doesn't change anything... any help would be appreciated

Thanks Peter - I made sure it was recognized as the Dell 2001FP (analog). I also tried setting it as a generic LCD 1600x1200...

Can you post the resolution part of your xf86config file. I suspect you just need to add something there.

EndSection

You know what's odd, though? I'm now operating in 1600x1200...

The last thing I remember doing is going to redhat-config-services and disabling apmd. I restarted because I'm brainwashed by Windows... but when I logged in, I was in 1600x1200 resolution!

Also, this is my second day of using Linux (Fedora) so please excuse my ignorance.
