This *should* be easy to fix as I've done it a nimber of times. Right now
I'm in FC4 but have installed FC5 (too buggy for my taste) the the solution
is as follows:
Go to: System Settings (or equivalent if changed in FC5) --> Display Enter
your root passwaord.
You should get a 3-tab folder with Settings, Hardware, and Dual head
Under Settings you will find the Resolutions and Number of Colors *BUT*
before you set these perameters you need to go to the *HARDWARE* tab and set
1) your Monitor type 2) your video card type, once you select these two
thing go back to settings and then select the resoltion you want and the
number of colors.

# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the

# Option "XkbModel" "pc102"
# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
# Option "XkbModel" "microsoft"
#
# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# or:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and

Before I could use 1024x768 screen but now if I select that then it
gets bigger than the actual screen. Is there any way I can correct it?
Google has been of no help so far.
Thanks
