Hi guys, and thanks in advance for any help!!

Today I bought a new laptop with scrren 16:9 ratio. The video card is Intel GMA 4500M, and as I checked, it supports two resolutions for ratio 16:9

1366 x 768: 85/75/60 Hz
1280 x 720: 100/85/75/60 Hz

What is currently set is the first one. It is the onliest I have in my options, when I go to Sysem >> Administration >> Monitors.

I read really a lot from other forums and what I did last hours was:

1) I edited my xorg.conf file (first time with error, which lead to total break of the system and I had to reinstall the fedora and loose all the configurations I had done untill that moment)
2) After reinstalling, I edited the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, adding "Modes" lines in the "Screen" section, containing "1024x576" "1280x720"
3) After that I added
Modeline "1024x576@0" 0.00 1024 1056 1056 1088 576 590 590 605
in the /usr/share/xorg/vesamodes

4) I restarted the computer - no effect... Again the onliest option I can see is 1366 x 768

I am using Fedora 14.

Please, help!! Any help appreciated!
