Hi

I am new to fedora and is going to move from Windows.

I have just installed it and have problem with the VGA driver. The resolution is about 800 x 600 but the graphic controller in the system (Intel 82865G Graphics Controller) support much higher in the Windows.

Where I will get the drivers for it and how to install them.

Where I will get the drivers for it and how to install them.Best available Linux driver is already installed by default. Try booting with kernel option nomodeset .

Immediately after BIOS posts, press <ESCAPE> key repeatedly until you see the GRUB menu. Follow the on-screen instructions to append the word nomodeset to the 'kernel ...' line, then proceed to boot.
