Hi,<br>
<br>
FYI: DDC should detect the monitor type on instillation if the monitor
and display card support it.<br>
<br>
<span id="intelliTxt">Short for <i><b>D</b>isplay <b>D</b>ata <b>C</b>hannel,</i>
a <a href="VESA.html">VESA</a> <a href="standard.html">standard</a>
for communication between a <a href="monitor.html">monitor</a> and a <a
href="video_adapter.html">video adapter</a>. Using DDC, a monitor can
inform the <a class="iAs"
style="border-bottom: 0.07em solid darkgreen; font-weight: normal; font-size: 100%; padding-bottom: 1px; background-color: transparent; text-decoration: underline;"
href="#" target="_blank" itxtdid="1983345">video</a> card about its
properties, such as maximum <a href="resolution.html">resolution</a>
and <a href="color_depth.html">color depth</a>. The video card can
then use this information to ensure that the user is presented with
valid options for configuring the display</span><br>
<br>
This should be picked up by Fedora.<br>

Subject: screen resolution
<br>
Newsgroups: gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.general
<br>
<br>
I'm just starting to research screen resolution. I want to safely
<br>
increase my screen resolution, but first need to make notes on how to
<br>
recover, via the fedora rescue CD, in the event things go wrong.
<br>
<br>
At this point I'm just thinking aloud, but please do chime in! :)

'If you want resolutions above 800*600, you will need to Change it from
generic monitor, to generic 1024×768 Monitor (or whatever resolution
you want), and then you will be able to select higher resolutions from
the drop down list.'

So, apparently, I just need to change the monitor type. To confirm,
FC5 is the first Fedora version to use modular X? I'm running FC5.
