-#+TITLE: Low Resolution in Fedora 11 with Nvidia drivers

-*Finally*, after hours of looking and working I have finally again found
-how to set the resolution to what I need (have 1280x1024, had
-640x480). I've had trouble with my resolution in Fedora before, but I
-don't ever remember it being this much of a pain, but then again I
-don't remember much about it at all, wish I'd remembered how I fixed
-it.
-
-So to help me remember and perhaps even help someone else work around
-it, here's how I finally got it working.
-
-I'm now using the Nouveau driver with a generic LCD Panel 1280x1024. I
-tried setting this in ~system-config-display~ many times, but it just
-wouldn't accept my monitor.
-
-So in the end I looked at ~system-config-display --help~ and noticed
-~--reconfigure~ , which doesn't base the new configuration file on an
-old one.
-
-Using this option and setting my driver to ~nv~ and my monitor to
-generic 1280x1024 and then
-
-#+BEGIN_SRC sh
- su -c "init 3"
- # [log in]
- su -c "init 5"
-#+END_SRC
-
-got me the right resolution again. However the ~nv~ driver is just a
-little too basic, so I thought I'd try the same thing with the
-proprietary driver, so I did everything exactly as before, only I used
-the driver ~nvidia~ instead of ~nv~.
-
-Now again X wouldn't start at all, so I ran ~livna-config-display -a~ to
-get it to my old low-res configuration, and then I tried it a third
-time, this time using the ~nouveau~ driver (which I've heard is better
-then ~nv~) and that worked!
-
-I know that supposedly you're also able to use ~xorg.conf~ to set
-certain Modes values for your display, but this didn't do anything for
-me at all in fedora, did help me in ubuntu, but then there I got the
-weirdest resolution.
-
-*finally* I can look at a normal screen again.
-
-Now I should get going to work, I'm gonna be really late (this really
-bugged me!)
