I am trying to get native resolution (1400x1050) working with FC6 on an Inspiron 4000.
When I installed FC6, I could really only read one third of the screen, with fuzzy lines and repeating images on the right. I was able to get the resolution a little better so I could read about two thirds of the screen.
I had this same issue with FC3, but fixed it by simply going with Generic LCD and setting the resolution to the one that I wanted. I tried this several times and it didn't work with FC6. I also tried various edits to my xorg.conf, but couldn't get the right resolution.
My first goal is to just get 1400x1050 working, the second one is to get the fancy 'eye candy' effects working.
I also tried installing fglrx from Livna, but that didn't help. This, of course, after removing the i586 kernel, adding the i686 kernel, etc... Had to restore grub.conf....
I have also done some pretty extensive Googling, but can't seem to figure out what I need to do to make this work. I am sure that there is a guide somewhere.
I would appreciate any help on this. I would really like to get FC6 working.
Thanks,
David.
