hey all,

I just loaded the fedora 7 live cd onto my system and all is working smoothly except for the video. I have a envidia GForce 2 video card that is only showing 600x800. Is there a way to fix that?

Thanks, I look forward to hearing some good news!

When you reboot the nvidia driver will be enabled. Matter of fact, I think if you just log out of your account and log back in I think the driver will be enabled. Probably better to reboot. Go from there. You may need to edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file if there are still screen resolution problems.
