Chose the wrong LCD/Resolution in the display setup agent! What now?

[spfdz]

Ok so I installed fedora core 4 through virtual pc 2004 on my laptop in window mode (not full screen, meaning wide screen).

I got up to the part where the installation finished. I went through the quick wizard at first bootup of the OS. I got up to the end where it asked me screen resolution, I left it on 800x600, and I believe it said unknown monitor. After, when trying to get into the login page, the video is totally messed up. The window is stretched a lot longer.

The question I had was, how do I get back to the video agent so I can reconfigure the resolution/monitor?

See if this helps.

I went through it. The closest thing to it would of been teh NVIDIA/ATI help but I'm using intel integrated graphics. Another thing is it did display it fine, at this point the resolution output is completely wrong.

I'll just reinstall it.

Virtual PC has no support for 24/32 bit color.

To change the color depth, boot up in runlevel 3, login as root, and run

#nano /etc/X11/X.conf

then, find the lines that say Depth 24 or Depth 32 or DefaultDepth 24 and so on, and change the number to 16.

The file to edit is called /etc/X11/xorg.conf, not X.conf.

For resolution setting problems with Intel integrated graphics chips you might need to use the 915resolution tool (http://www.geocities.com/stomljen/) to adjust the video BIOS.
