(at your own risk, but should nonetheless work, I have done this plenty of times) Before you try the following below, you may use a livecd also. You can also play with livecd's to see if any of them give you maximum resolution and take a look at the xorg.conf file generated by them. i.e., Knoppix, Fedora Live, SLAX, Berry, etc., any one that you may have at hand. If this does not work, the other option is to make a backup copy of your old xorg.conf file by becoming root user $ su - password # cd /etc/X11/ # cp xorg.conf xorg.conf.bak to back it up, just in case something bad happens. Reboot and press e to edit when grub starts up and enter into level 3 (non-gui). Try to configure xorg.conf by Xorg. Login as root user type # Xorg -configure and then test the X configuration and the mouse should appear at the middle (press ctrl+alt+backspace) to get back to the terminal. copy it over to /etc/X11/ # cp /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf replace existing xorg.conf? Select yes and try to login by typing # startx Does it give you 1680x1050? If it does not, then check the Lines with HorizSync 24.0 - 92.0 VertRefresh 50.0 - 85.0 and the modes in the bottom and put in the lines to all Depths from the beginning till the end. SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 15 Modes "1680 X 1050" "1280x1024" "1152x864" "1024x768" "832x624" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480" Configuring this to the maximum resolution is sometimes a pain. This should not happen as Fedora should do this out of the box with minimal problems. But different hardware and not enough testing with more hardware, issues like this arise as a result of that.
