IBM 600E Display Problems
So, I thought I posted this, but couldn't find it, so I'm posting this again in here. Basically, I installed Core 3 Test 3 on my old IBM 600E. The LCD screen resolution should go as high as 1024x768, but it won't go past 800x600. I found another post in here about this same problem, and a member replied with a xorg.conf file for the guy with the problem, but that wouldn't work in f3t3. I tried . Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone could help me configure xorg so that I can get the res I need. As it is, it is pretty difficult to read the text, so help would be really appreciated. Especially since I'm not very knowledgable or experienced. Thanks a lot! Oh, here's a link to the post I found before: http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/sho...light=ibm+600e

did you select the correct video driver for your display and what are you pc specs?

I'm not entirely certain what the exact specs are. I do think, however, that the video driver is correct. I also know that on this same machine with Core 2, all it took to correct the problem was to edit xorg.conf. I tried messing with it, to no avail.

specs = specifications of your system, now can you post your xorg.conf so we take a look at it, attach it in your reply.

I only said I wasn't sure about the specs because it's a laptop, and I didn't build it myself. I checked it out though, and here's some info:
Video: NeoMagic MagicMedia 256AV (laptop/notebook)
Processor: PII 300 mhz
Hard Drive: Fujitsu MHJ2181AT 17 gig (I think)
Network: 3com 572/574 Fast Ethernet (PCMCIA adapter)
LCD display, capable of 1024x768
Here's my xorg.conf

Add "1024x768" to the video modes of the "Depth 24" section. It is simply missing while your default depth *is* 24. However, "DefaultDepth 16" is preferrable anyway. It is faster and the rendering is better.
