Hello,
I am having trouble getting a Gateway M305X laptop to run X at the
machine's native (advertised) resolution.
I am running Fedora Core 1.
It should be able to do 1024x768 at 18bit color (262K). The best that I
have gotten is 800x600 with Millions of colors.
I have tried changing /etc/X11/XF86Config by adding another 'Display'
subsection to the 'Screen' section where:
Depth 18 "1024x768"
Then I launched another X session with
'startx -- :1 -depth 18'
That seems to lock the machine up tight! Reboot required!
Any ideas how to proceed? The 18bit color depth seems unusual.
