RE: How to configure monitor of my notebook toshiba with fedora

["Laercio Xisto Braga Cavalcanti" <laercio endless-technology com br>]

Hi,

Thanks for your help, but it didn´t work.
My system didn´t recognise the command redhat-config-display, nor
system-config-xfree86, nor system-config-display.
I try redhat-config-xfree86 but there are no option to configure the screen
size and if I choose the recognized monitor (Toshiba TOS5082) and adapter
(Trident Cyber 9525 generic) it don´t work, i.e. the size of the screen
remains less than the monitor size (14´1).
Can it be a consequence of an incorrect bios setup?
Do anybody knows how to enter setup because after I installed Fedora, I
press F2 type password and receive the following screen:

Valid password entered, system is now starting up.
Select boot device
[C]: CD-ROM
[F}: FDD
[B]: Built-in HDD
[D}: Default SUSTEM SETUP Device
Press [C],[F],[B] or [D].

I tryed all these options and none of them work.

Regards,

Laercio.

This is the wrong list for this discussion.    I have a Toshiba 
Satellite.   If your Tosh has an nvidia chip in it you will need the 
nvidia drivers.  You need them because even if you fix the black border(
which I don't think happens unless you install the nvidia drivers ) you will
most likely lose your mouse pointer when it comes back from suspend.  The
mouse cursor will just not show up on the screen.  Most people don't catch
this right away.
