I am stuck in a 800x600 resolution and I can't get my 1280 x 768 back.
I've read a multitude of threads on the subject and I just can't get it corrected.
I am running my machine on a Fedora 7 platform.
Here are the steps I have taken:
This is my current xorg.conf file:

I have a Dell LCD monitor, model No: 1703FPs. I have an anaolg VGA cable connecting it to the Desktop.
When I go to Systems - Administration - Display. Under Settings, I choose 1024 x 768. Log out to the command line console and type in "startx" at the command line. It looks like it is about to change resolution, but it snaps back to the 800 x 600 res.
I have then tried choosing the exact Dell model. I go to System - Administration - Display and under "Hardware" I choose click the "Show all available monitors". I choose the "Dell 1703FP (Analog)." I do not see the "s" at the end....don't know what that signifies.
I then go back to "Settings" and choose the 1024x768 and click "ok". I log out and log back in. Still the same f#1@&* resolution. I go back to xorg.conf, and it looks like my changes didn't take:

The ModelName is still the same.
Not sure what to do. I did at one time have the 1024x768 res. I changed it to 800x600 to see the results of a web page I was deveoping. AFter that, I couldn't get it back.
Anyone have any input? Forever grateful if you do.
