I am new to fedora and to linux in general. I know a little bit of bash
because I have a mac but not enough.
I just installed fedora core 10 i386 netinstall (the dvd-rom drive on
this computer is thoroughly dead: stops reading and needs to be
unplugged and plugged back in every thirty of so seconds), on an AMD
with 1GB of RAM and a GeForce 5200 FX.
When I try to change the resolution, the drop-down only goes to 720x400.
I tried installing the nvidia driver and it broke X beyond what my linux
friend can fix. I did a fresh install and now I have the same problem.
Please help.
What is your monitor? Is it Play and Pray compliant? Does it tell X11
the correct information?
I have no problems getting higher resolutions on my F10 system (with a
Radeon 7000 driver), and a Dell Dimension 4300 using a Live CD.
Which "nvidia" drive did you try and install? Was it an RPM from
RPMFusion or ATRpms? Or did you try the nvidia installer?
Thanks a bunch,
