Hi I have an intel chipset G31/946Z with graphics (GMA 3100). I have just installed fedora 11 but am not able to change the screen resolution so assume I may need additional drivers. New to linux. Advice much appreciated.

This has been discussed. Apparently there is a problem with Intel Graphics Chip coding for X11(?) which is said to be in a major rewrite, if I recall correctly.
For the time being, the only solution to get around this is to add: nomodeset to end of the kernel line in grub, and as for the fix, who knows if this fix will be added to F11 or will only appear in the next major release be it F12 or later. Maybe others can chime in provide the exact details, as I could be wrong.
FWIW, Dan

What type of display do you have? Laptop or Deskside? How is the display connected? What resolution do you see and what resolution do you want.
LCD displays mostly have a "fixed" resolution that is autodetected. If so changing resolution is a null issue.
A low resolution 640x400 or so will work on almost all as a safety net.
