F18 : Display resolution

[Antonio M]

I made a network fresh install on an old laptop. I installed LXDE but after
installation I get Fedora running on a small window at centre of screen and
only available screen resolution seems to be 640x480.

Any idea how to solve?? Running intel driver

I suppose the first thing to do would be to post the output of "xrandr" as well as looking in /var/log/Xorg.0.log for errors.

xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 640 x 480, maximum 2048 x 2048
VGA1 unknown connection (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
   1024x768       60.0
   800x600        60.3
   640x480        59.9
LVDS1 connected 640x480+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm
x 0mm
   640x480        60.0*+   59.9

I don't understand why it is connected as LVDS1 640x480
