Widescreen resolution question?

[scribes200581]

I can only run my resolution size in fc6 at 1024 x 768 on an intel 950GM gpu.

This was the default driver loaded by the install.

Is there a driver out there that allows me to get back to my normal widescreen size that this screen is native to?

THanks

Did a search here, on linuxquestions and on google and seems the drivers do not support that resolution.
Only thought is create a modeline from here.

Might post contents of /etc/X11/xorg.conf

There's driver called 915resolution for Intel graphics chips:

915resolution.i386 0.5.2-4.fc6 extras
Matched from:
915resolution
915resolution is a tool to modify the video BIOS of the 800 and 900 series
Intel graphics chipsets. This includes the 845G, 855G, and 865G chipsets, as
well as 915G, 915GM, and 945G chipsets. This modification is necessary to
allow the display of certain graphics resolutions for an Xorg or XFree86
graphics server.

915resolution's modifications of the BIOS are transient. There is no risk of
permanent modification of the BIOS. This also means that 915resolution must be
run every time the computer boots inorder for it's changes to take effect.

915resolution is derived from the tool 855resolution. However, the code
differs substantially. 915resolution's code base is much simpler.
915resolution also allows the modification of bits per pixel.

Don't know much more about it, but how about doing first a forum search for your chip and then for driver, if nothing comes up, try Google.
