It would only be auto detected during the firstboot (first boot after installation. When the card is installed boot into run level 3 by typing 'e' when you see the GRUB screen, edit the kernel line by selecting it and hitting 'e' again, (you may delete the word rhgb) and type the number '3'. hit enter to exit the edit mode and hit the 'b' key to boot. Once you get to the login screen log in (I believe you will need to be root - so log in as root) then run the command: system-config-display the system will then attempt to set-up X for you, start an X session and present you with the GUI to adjust resolution, monitor and the rest of it. Then just reboot when you are done with that and you'll get your familiar boot sequence. Scott
