I am trying to install FC4 on this notebook and I don't think the monitor is being sensed properly: just get a black screen after some of the kernel outputs are displayed when trying to install.
Windows uses resolution=1680x1050 @ 60Hz
With knoppix it chose 1024x768 with Horizontal 28.0 x 96.0 Vertical 50.0 x 75.0
As this is a wide screen display (15.1 in) 1024 is a little stretched out.
Before I try installing again with resolution=1680x1050 does anyone have the proper horizontal and vertical settings to go in xorg.conf for this notebook. I couldn't find much via Google or HP's site & documentation.
Thanks Dave

Use system-config-display to configure it. There you can choose that option. I am using a nx8220 that supports the same resolution and it works a charm. :-)
FWIW: ModelName "LCD Panel 1680x1050" HorizSync 31.5 - 90.0 VertRefresh 60.0 - 60.0
Thanks Dave

not sure if it helps. I have hp nx8220 with 15,1 in display. Settings from xorg.conf are:
HorizSync 31.5 - 91.1 VertRefresh 60 - 100
I run on resolution 1280x960.
Hope it works in your case. If not have a look on
http://h10018.www1.hp.com/wwsolutions/linux/products/clients/HP_whitepaper_M...
That document contains instructions for installing SuSE Linux and Redhat Enterprise Linux. :)
Thanks José and Christian for your suggestions
Once I tried the resolution I realized I had to use the nofb option to install then the resolution=1680x1050 worked fine though the monitor wasn't identified exactly (small wonder brand new). Xorg.conf lists: HorizSync 31.5 - 65 VertRefresh 50 - 90
With MANY resolution options.
If I set the vertRefresh to 60 - 60 like José suggested what would the effect be?
