Gui in Centos 5.4

[High_Lander]

I installed Centos 5.4 after un-installing Windows Vista- but I am getting trouble because my webpage in firefox s well as Chrome comes bigger or so - I am not able to play game in yahoo etc.. or I can't watch movies/video in youtube or so-- they come in deformed size and shape.

I have set terminal resolution 800x600 and won't able to increase my resolution - says it's not available.

It is lapto with something crt-generic monitor --

Any suggestion

Thank you

what kind of graphics card do you have?

you can run `lspci` from the console, and just look at the stuff untill you see graphics something or other, or VGA something. (the output is usualy only like 20-30 lines, not horrible.)

you may need to install your graphics driver.

do you have a specific need for CentOS? If you're not running a server, or need constant uptime (playing yahoo games doesn't sound like it :P) you may want to consider running Fedora 12. it is quite stable at this point (about 6 months from the release,) and has quite a few improvements over CentOS. The other thing to consider is that Fedora 13 will be released in ... like 2 days I think. Tuesday if I'm not mistaken. It will however undoubtedly have some bugs in it, but I've never been crippled by being an early adopter, but I enjoy working through the little things.

just suggestions, but to answer your original question, I'm pretty sure if you aren't getting the correct resolutions, you need a new driver for your GPU.
