Weird Screen Resolution Problem of FC2 on VMware

[ylzhou]

The problem seems different from those already in this forum.
I have FC2 successfly installed on VMware 4.5.2. Everything is fine except that I cannot get a correct resolution. The relevant sections in xorg.conf are listed below:

Section "Monitor"

EndSection


Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen 1"

SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0

Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection

However, the resulting resolution is larger than 1024x768. It is actually 1152x768, which can be seen from Preferences-> Screen Resolution. This is quite weird to me, since 1152x768 is not supported due to my configuration shown above. :confused: And due to this problem, I cannot use the full screen mode in VMware.

How could I solve this problem and make the actual resolution to 1024x768?

I'm not sure of the answer, but one suggestion is to try commenting out the ModeLine lines and see if the monitor can figure out the correct parameters by itself.
