Does this problem keep your computer running at 640 x 480 resolution? I
installed FC3T1 on a Dell computer with an 828656 Graphics Controller. I
could run system-config-display as root, setup the resolution, but
display is still in 640 x 480 mode.
GUI ---> System Settings > Display
With the gnome-display-settings program.
GUI --> Preferences > Screen Resolution, it would not allow any choices.
I believe there was mention by someone awhile ago about this problem,
I'm not sure they got an answer back or found a solution. Since it is
still in test1, I assume the problem is still there.
Is this card supposed to be recognized as an 845?
