FC10 Apple Macbook Pro

[Rupak kumar Bag]

Hi All,

I have FC10 install on Macbook Pro(15'') with Nvidia GeForce 8600M
GT. Fedora rocks even on apple hardware, however I have two question.

1)

Why do we have two different applications to control screen resolution.
System->administration->display(1024x768)
System->Preferences->Hardware->screen resolution (1440x900)

As shown in brackets, both of these controls show different resolution. I am
not sure what is happening. Can anyone throw some light on this please?

2) Is there a way to achieve any higher resolution than 1400x900?

Thanks for your time,
Rupak

For starters, you'll need to plug in a monitor with higher resolution than 1440x900.
