How change screen resolution (more than 1024x 768)

[nesca2in1]

Hi,
I have notebook ASUS x51r (M530, ATI XPress 1100) with Fedora 11,
before installing Fedora, I used other linux distro (Ubuntu, SL, Debian, Centos), on this other distr i can set my screen resolution more then 1024x768, 61 MHz , but on Fedora 11 I can't do this?

How repair this? How and what I must install/remove/edit?
TIA

Are you using the proprietary video drivers?

Have you tried editing or creating an xorg.conf file containing the resolution that you seek?

Hi,

how edit xorg.conf? what i must change?

In fedora 11, xorg is this same struct ? (FreeBSD)

The problem is that your monitor is not being set up properly by Fedora - I've seen this a few times. Use the tool 'system-config-display', if you run this as root, it'll allow you to specify a monitor. If you cant find yours in the list, just use a generic one that matches. Once your monitor is set, you'll have all the correct resolutions available to you.

Post the contents of /etc/X11/xorg.conf file here.

my xorg.conf :
only this:


Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "vesa"
EndSection

Edit xorg.conf file :

Section "Monitor"
	Identifier   "Monitor0"
	HorizSync    30.0 - 71.0
	VertRefresh  50.0 - 160.0
	Option	    "dpms"
EndSection

Section "Device"
	Identifier  "Videocard0"
	Driver      "vesa"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
	Identifier "Screen0"
	Device     "Videocard0"
	Monitor    "Monitor0"
	DefaultDepth     24
	SubSection "Display"
		Depth     24
		Modes    "1280x1024" "1024x768"
	EndSubSection
EndSection

EndSection

on this xorg.conf, I can't still set resolution more than 1024x768 :/

When i try install driver for ATI web i can see this error msg:

actualy on system i have instaled this package:

[root@localhost ]# yum list |grep radeon
radeontool.i586 1.5-5.fc11 installed
xorg-x11-drv-radeonhd.i586 1.2.5-2.10.20090714git.fc11 updates
[root@localhost ]#

Replace "vesa" with "radeon" in xorg.conf file.
