I am new to fedora and to linux in general. I know a little bit of bash because I have a mac but not enough.
I just installed fedora core 10 i386 netinstall (the dvd-rom drive on this computer is thoroughly dead: stops reading and needs to be unplugged and plugged back in every thirty of so seconds), on an AMD with 1GB of RAM and a GeForce 5200 FX.
When I try to change the resolution, the drop-down only goes to 720x400.
I tried installing the nvidia driver and it broke X beyond what my linux friend can fix. I did a fresh install and now I have the same problem.
Please help.

Thanks a bunch,
