hi,
Im pretty new to linux so please bare with me.
I have just updated my monitor to LG Flatron Wide.
Optimal resolution is 1680x1050.
The VGA is radeon x1550
I have a new installation of Fedora Core 6. - 2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 on AMD x86_64 machine.
I download the display driver from the AMD site and was then able to use the monitor.
Driver version is 8.44.3
However the highest setting on the resolution is 1280x1024
How can I configure to achieve optimal resolution?
I did try the following and rebooting but it didnt appear to make a difference
Code:
[root]# gtf 1680 1050 60
# 1680x1050 @ 60.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 65.22 kHz; pclk: 147.14 MHz
Modeline "1680x1050_60.00" 147.14 1680 1784 1968 2256 1050 1051 1054 1087 -HSync +Vsync
[root]#
and the I put that into the xorg.conf file as follows
Code:
# Xorg configuration created by pyxf86config
