Resolution on laptop

[Don Rogers]

Hello,
I am having trouble getting a Gateway M305X laptop to run X at the
machine's native (advertised) resolution.  

I am running Fedora Core 1.

It should be able to do 1024x768 at 18bit color (262K).  The best that I
have gotten is 800x600 with Millions of colors. 

I have tried changing /etc/X11/XF86Config by adding another 'Display'
subsection to the 'Screen' section where:
 Depth 18     "1024x768"

Then I launched another X session with 
'startx -- :1 -depth 18'

That seems to lock the machine up tight!  Reboot required!

Any ideas how to proceed?  The 18bit color depth seems unusual.
