Hi. Sorry I posted this under a wrong header, I post it again. I just installed FC5. No problems but for graphical mode screen. I have an ATI Fire GL V5100 card, and an HP 2335 23" screen. I cannot set in any way the correct resolution (1920x1200). I had to install in text mode, that worked: after that the computer will start in runmode 3, and changing the resolution has no effect (even at something lower than 1920x1200: it always stays, I believe, to the lowest resolution). Help and hints would be very appreciated... Thanks! ps manually changing the xorg config file to only leave the 1920x1200 line did not have any effect. pps I have used yum to install the new kernel (and all packets available at today), and nothing changes.

Hi John,
Annoying, I know, I had the same problem. Have you checked your Xorg log file (in /var/log)? It probably discards most of the resolutions. If the driver you are using is Radeon, then it might help to switch on the DDCMode (it's in one of the other mails).
I quote from that mail:
" Sounds like you have the same problem I have. The xorg drivers stick me with a 640x480 on my Radeon X700, regardless of monitor settings. Try the option: Option "DDCMode" "On" In the device section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and it will probably fix it. "
If you are not using Radeon, check the manpage for your driver.
Hope this helps.
Guus.
