Hi,
I install the Fedora 6, 7, 8 Test on VMware work station 6.0, The
highest resolution is 800x600. The visible area is so small it is not
convevient for me to use. But the Ubuntu can get 1280x1024 or higher
resolution. My display adapter is Nvidia 7600GS 256M. What is the
difference between the X server of Ubuntu and Fedora? Can Fedora improve
the that?
xorg.conf probably sets the wrong vertical and horizontal refresh rates.
Administration -> Display -> Hardware -> Monitor Type -> Configure
should let you choose your monitor and set the correct parameters on the
Monitor Section of xorg.conf. Click the checkbox to see All Monitors,
and select yours.
But, it probably won't work :( At least it didn't for me. So look up
your monitor specs in Ubuntu ( or even better look at xorg.conf in
Ubuntu ) and copy them over to xorg.conf in F8T1. That's what I just did
this a.m.
