Hi,
On my Laptop Fujitsu Siemens Amilo L 6825 with Fedora 11 Gnome Desktop i have a problem with my display. Everything works fine, exept when i try to view an image or when i want to watch a movie, i get all lines and distorted image, not being able to see anything on all the screan, not just in the player window. Again, everything works fine, except with movies and pictures. I have the right codecs installed.
Any help will be appreciated.

Somewhere in /var/log/Xorg.0.log it should show what video driver is being used. Is it the one that you expected?

Thanks for the advice tashirosgt, this is what i tried:
I opened that file and it contains a lot of info. Some that i don't know what it means. One line goes like this:

(--) PCI:*(0:0:2:0) 8086:2562:1734:103c Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device rev 3, Mem @ 0xd0000000/134217728, 0xdff80000/524288, BIOS @ 0x????????/131072
(==) Using default built-in configuration (30 lines)
(==) --- Start of built-in configuration ---

Also i can't edit my Display Preferences, it doesn't detect any monitors ( i use a laptop ) and i can't change the resolution or refresh rate. Any advices?
