I am new to fedora and to linux in general. I know a little bit of bash because I have a mac but not enough. I just installed fedora core 10 i386 netinstall (the dvd-rom drive on this computer is thoroughly dead: stops reading and needs to be unplugged and plugged back in every thirty of so seconds), on an AMD with 1GB of RAM and a GeForce 5200 FX.<br>
When I try to change the resolution, the drop-down only goes to 720x400.<br>
I tried installing the nvidia driver and it broke X beyond what my linux friend can fix. I did a fresh install and now I have the same problem.<br>
Please help.<br>

What is your monitor? Is it Play and Pray compliant? Does it tell X11 the correct information?<br>
<br>
I have no problems getting higher resolutions on my F10 system (with a Radeon 7000 driver), and a Dell Dimension 4300 using a Live CD.<br>
<br>
Which "nvidia" drive did you try and install? Was it an RPM from RPMFusion or ATRpms? Or did you try the nvidia installer?<br>
