I have just installed FC6 in a new computer, an Intel Celeron D 2.53
with 512MB ram and video intel 82865G (onboard) with a standard LCD screen.
How do I set up X to use a specific video configuration ?
When it tries to start it hangs up completely. I can't even open other
sessions.
If I start in runlevel 3, it works just fine in text mode.
Can anybody help me with this ?
Thanks in advance.

I have a working X with the 83865G video but was trying to help someone
with a broken X.
The excerpt that seemed to help him out was to manually select the
monitor using system-config-display --reconfig
I hope this gives you some idea as to where to start searching.

Not easily, but...

I tried running system-config-display and manually picking a monitor and
resolution and it worked with the i810 driver! I will attach a working
xorg.conf. I have a Sony Multiscan 20sf II monitor which wasn't listed as an
option, so I chose the Multiscan 17sf. Then I selected the i810 driver and
exited X and it worked when X came back up. I haven't tried rebooting entirely
yet, but I think it's using the i810 driver successfully for the first time with
fc6 on this computer.
