Screen resolution

[Dotan Cohen]

My Dell Inspiron E1505/6400 laptop has 1680x1050 display. However, I
can't get anything higher than 1400x1050 out of Fedora. This is my
xorg.cong:

Does the vesa driver support widescreen? I have no problem trying
another driver, preferably something with 3D so that I could use
Google Earth.
