FC6T3 Install on Acer Aspire 5601AWLMi laptop (long)

[ron flory]

hi-

  Fresh install of TC6T3 using DVD.

1. intel 82801G (ICH7 Family) Sound card is silent (same problem under
    FC6T2).

2. X only appears to be able to use 1024x768 resolution.  LCD is
    1280x800 native.  No matter what I do with "system-configure-
    display", I can't get it to run higher resolution.  This worked
    correctly under FC6T2 once I told it the LCD capabilities.
