Hi,
When I install Fedora2-test3 or when I try and configure the display on
my system I cannot modify the display resolution beyond "800x600".
The monitor is an older Non DPMS one. I have tried setting the monitor
to "Generic 1280x1024" the X always comes up in "800x600".
There seems to be some problem in the Display configuration program.
The monitor section in /etc/X11/Xorg.conf file is set wrong:
Section "Monitor"
### Uncomment if you don't want to default to DDC:

### Uncomment if you don't want to default to DDC:
# HorizSync 31.5 - 37.9

### Uncomment if you don't want to default to DDC:

Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Monitor Vendor"
ModelName "Monitor 1280x1024"
### Uncomment if you don't want to default to DDC:
# HorizSync 31.5 - 79.0
# VertRefresh 50.0 - 90.0
Option "dpms"
EndSection
Uncommenting the latter two HorizSync and VertRefresh lines and commenting
out DPMS fixes the problem.
