Hi!
I have a problem with Fedora and my graphic card. Yesterday I
installed Fedora 7 (I used every Fedora distro back from Core 1 and
was always satisfied with it). Recently I upgraded my graphic card to
Radeon 1950Pro and cannot make it working under Fedora.
My current screen resolution is 800x600 with refreshing rate 81Mhz. I
cannot setup higher resolution using the graphic panel. What’s more my
monitor (NEC Multisync FE771SB) is not automatically recognized. When
I manually configure it using the graphic panel and restart the
system, I cannot work with Fedora as I get the warning message from my
monitor that the refreshing rate is out of range (too high).
I googled for a while and it looks like it might be the problem with
the default ati driver under Fedora. I have “void” in my xorg.cong. I
tried installing fglrx driver from Livna, but couldn’t start graphic
interface unless returned to previous xorg.conf (same problem with too
high refreshing rate during bootup). I found many posts regarding this
matter in the web but didn’t manage to find definitive resolution to
this problem.
This list helped me in the past so I count on you guys. Any suggestions?

PS. In the mean time I found this:
http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Install-Video-Drivers-on-Fedora-7-59919.shtml
Will it solve my problems? I wanna give it a try when I get back home.
The computer errors on the side of caution when it makes a guess at your
monitor. With your F7 up goto System-Aministration-Display and give it
your password and it will come up and tell you what you have. Go to
Hardware and it will have a guess for a monitor. Change that to your
known monitor and reset the size and such. Works well.
