I recently was given a computer to "mess" around with. I went to install
Fedora Core 1 on it
and I chose the GUI install option. My ViewSonic PF790 went into sleep
mode and
showed me nothing. So I decided to install in text mode, once I had
Fedora installed I went to
load up in runlevel 5 and again monitor went into sleep mode. So I
rebooted in runlevel 3 and
used lynx to google around. I found out that the video card in the box
is a S3 Savage card,
and there has been some issues with that and XFree86. I researched some
more and found
that if I changed my vsync and hsync in XF86Config, that my help. So I
changed it to a setting they gave on the site and ran startx. X started
but in 840x680, bleh.
What I want is to get it loaded in 1024x768, but I dont know the correct
vsync and hsync to do this. I have changed it several time from
suggestions I saw on the net, but no go. Anyone have any idea what im
doing wrong and can you please help me?
