problems fo resolutions about 19' widescreen

[burrowspan]

Hi!
I'm new to linux. I just installed fedora 8, but I can't change the resolution to 1440x900 with the highest resolution 1152x864

I have searched for several days, still didn't find any way to solve it

I use philips 190cw7 (wides screen)
AMD chipset 690G and integrated graphics X1250

You are switching too many variable. Stick w/ the vesa or stick w/ the ATI but stop adding variable to the problem.

The "Modes" line does work with, but you may need to reboot as the driver (not just X) needs e-initialization.
For the ati driver try adding (Mode "1440x900") to the Monitor section. That's "Mode" with no 's'.

i type setup in the terminal
set the resolution to 1440x900 select the driver fglrx
after rebooting, the resolution is 1440x900 now
