Question ID: 519571
I need assistance configuring XFree86 4.3.0 (running under CentOS 3
(Linux), a Red Hat Advanced Server clone) to run at 1280x1024
resolution. Video card is a Radeon 7000 (using the Xfree86 radeon
driver). Monitor is SVA's SVR-17S (LCD 17") panel. I can provide
remote access as needed. So far, despite my best attempts, I can only
get to 1024x768, which results in a fuzzy display.
