Sorry for missing that out. Three sections are important: "monitor", "device", and "screen". The modeline is actually in section "monitor". I paste here an example for the hp7000 (different size, but hps and compaqs are usually identical. So syntax should be the same, but your modeline is different (it is not a 1440x900). ---- quote from example for xorg.conf ---- Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "Monitor Vendor" ModelName "LCD Panel 1400x1050" # DisplaySize 380 310 HorizSync 30-64 VertRefresh 50-100 Modeline "1440x900" 106.47 1440 1520 1672 1904 900 901 904 932 -HSync +Vsync Option "dpms" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard0" Driver "nvidia" VendorName "Videocard vendor" BoardName "NVIDIA GeForce 4 (generic)" Option "NoLogo" "true" Option "NvAgp" "3" Option "IgnoreEDID" "true" Option "TwinView" Option "SecondMonitorHorizSync" "31-120" Option "SecondMonitorVertRefresh" "60-75" Option "TwinViewOrientation" "RightOf" Option "MetaModes" "1280x1024,1440x900; 1280x1024,1280x1024; 1024x768,1024x768" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Videocard0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1440x900" EndSubSection EndSection ----- end of quote ---- Source: http://zd7000forums.com/viewtopic.php?t=2859 Under section "monitor" you have the modeline (i still do not remember how to get it under FC - and i know, it is possible; maybe you find the modeline for your laptop through a google-search). Notice in section "Device": Option "IgnoreEDID" "true" This is the line which is needed by nvidia-drivers to work properly with widescreen laptops. nv does not need it. Notice in section "screen": Modes "1440x900" This is the actual resolution you want to have for your screen (with your figures of course). Use this syntax with your machine, and it should work. It did the trick with mine. And Fedora is very beautiful on a widescreen laptop when the setting of the screen works properly. Good luck Markus
