    Screen resolution

    Hi folks,

    Just have F-13 32 bit installed. But can't find xorg.conf. The screen resolution is only 800x600. The LCD display and the video card can support 1640x1280. Please where can I find a standard xorg.conf. Or how to create it here? TIA

    Which Graphics Card do you have?
    Try this Generic xorg.conf file and in case it doesn't work, post details of your Graphics Card here.
    Code:
    Section "Device"
       Identifier "Configured Video Device"
       Driver    "vesa"  
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
         Identifier "Configured Monitor"
         HorizSync 31.5 - 70.0
         VertRefresh 50 - 160
 EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Default Screen"
        Monitor "Configured Monitor"
        Device "Configured Video Device"
        DefaultDepth 24
        Subsection "Display"
             Depth 24
             Modes "1640x1280" "1280x1024" "1024x768" 
        EndSubsection
EndSection
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    Above Generic xorg.conf can't work. X can't start. I have no way to start the boot menu on Fedora 13.

    [ESC], [Shift] etc. can't work. I need to boot to single user mode.

    [Ctrl]+[Alt]+F2
    boots the host to single user mode. NOT the guest.

    Please help. TIA

    Whether you meant the driver for mobo? I can't recall exactly. I think I have. This box has been runnig for sometimes. The screen resolution on the host is without problem.

    My immediate need is how to boot the Fedora 13, the guest, to single user mode/init 3 to delete xorg.conf. Otherwise it can't start.
