-#+TITLE: Higher Resolution in Fedora 11 with proprietary NVidia Drivers

-Ugh... I have been screwing around with this since the beginning of
-time... Or at least since I installed Fedora for the so-manieth
-time. Finally though I found out what I had to do.
-
-Following [[http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=204752][this guide]], I was able to easily and correctly install the
-drivers. I used to build them myself, but that got me worse results
-then anything.
-
-To sum up, though:
-
-#+BEGIN_SRC sh
- # switch to super user (root)
- su
-
- # install rpmfusion repository
- rpm -Uvh \
- http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm \
- http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm
-
- # install the driver (I have an i686 pc, you might need a different architecture, like 64_32 or something similar)
- yum install kmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i586
-
- # reboot to make changed take effect
- reboot
-#+END_SRC
-
-This only got me a 1024x768 resolution, though... Which pissed me off...
-
-I started looking around the internet for a way to fix it in the
-~xorg.conf~ itself, which I'd done on Fedora 9 before, but didn't
-remember how (the reason I'm writing this right now), but didn't
-actually find what I was looking for.
-
-In the end I found 2 supposed fixes, one added a Modes option to the
-=Display= section of the =Screen= section, and another was to add a
-=DisplaySize= option to the =Monitor= section.
-
-Well, I found out I needed both, so I added =DisplaySize 1280 1024= to
-the =Monitor= section and =Modes "1280x1024"= to the ~Display~ subsection
-of the ~Screen~ section.
-
-Now it's working again, running at 1280x1024 with screen compositing
-(so I can run ~gnome-do~ with docky theme, which I'm trying out for a
-while).
