Fedora didn't create complete xorg.conf file. this is strange.
execute this

cd /etc/X11
cp xorg.conf xorg.conf.old
nano xorg.conf

copy this and add before Section "Screen"

Section "Monitor"
	Identifier   "Monitor0"
	ModelName    "Generic"
	HorizSync     30.0 - 60.0
	VertRefresh  50.0 - 70.0
	Option	    "dpms"
EndSection

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

check you Monitor's Manual for supported HorizSync and VertiRefresh rates and edit accordingly. save file and execute 'system-config-display' again. execute 'startx' after that.

I am doing this on a laptop So I don't know where I would find out this info on the monitor since it is one unit.

[devils casper]

check the Website of your Laptop Manufacturer.

HorizSync     30.0 - 60.0
VertiRefresh  50.0 - 70.0

these are generic refresh rates and works fine on most of laptops.
try these and check if it works.

It worked, THANKS!
Now if that file was a little messed up than do you think their is a lot else messed up?
Startx is running.
But the desktop effects won't enable.

No. GUI is controlled and configured by xorg.conf file only.

But the desktop effects won't enable.

what type of effects? XGL/3D ?





Casper

[Meade87]

Yeah the wobble effects and etc., I'm thinking Beryl If I am correct. I guess it would XGL/3D. Is there something I need to do before I can use it?
