Om my IBM Thinkpad T20 - I use Generic LCD at 1024x768 as the monitor - and it works. That being said - Fedora Core 1 is really old and no longer supported. I suggest you get a copy of Fedora Core 4 or Fedora Core 5 and try that. Note that installing FC5 on my Thinkpad T20 was a little tricky, FC4 installs just dandy - both are currently supported with official updates. FC5 might install as intended for you though, I don't know. I do not recommend using FC1 at this point in time. >
