monitor/resolution problem

[paco664]

hi everyone... i am new to fedora *(but have been using ubuntu for a year or so) and i am having a screen resolution problem......

my monitor is a mitsubishi 60" dlp 1080p...... that runs a native resolution of 1900x1080

but it is recognized as a mitsubishi 73" and the screen does not fit properly... with the top tool bar and bottom and both sides cut off....

there is no resolution i can set it at where it will work properly.....

this is a dual boot box with win7 and it works properly in win....

please someone tell me how to manually set the screen size or the resolution so i can enjoy my monitor....

thank you in advance...

You have to install Nvidia Proprietary Driver? Which version of Fedora or RedHat are you using?

[paco664]

fedora 15 distro...

and to my knowledge i am running the correct driver for it........

it shows my monitor as a mitsubishi 73" when it actually is a mitsubishi 60".......

If you haven't installed Nvidia Driver manually, then you are not running correct driver. Fedora uses nouveau driver by default.
I would suggest you to follow instructions from here to install Nvidia Proprietary driver. Post back if you any query regarding any installation step.
