Title: FC5 and screen resolution

You will edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.  There is a mode line in the "Screen" section of the configuration file that tells X-windows what settings your monitor supports.  Like this:

        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     24
                Modes    "1280x1024" "1152x864" "1152x768" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
        EndSubSection

Subject: [PLUG] FC5 and screen resolution

OK...I just installed FC5 and after I set the screen resolution to 1024 x 768, it turns out the LCD
monitor won't display that (gives me out of range), so I put a CRT on the system and that one
doesn't handle 1280 x 1024 (which the LCD screen keeps telling me to use). What setting can
I hard change (in a non-gui) screen, that will allow me to set it for 1280 x 1024, then reboot.
