Dell Latitude Laptop Video problems with FC2

[Reinhard Sy]

Hi,

I had also some trouble after upgrading from FC1 to FC2 on my Dell C800.
I run system-config-display after installation and got the following
working xorg.conf file (see Attachment) . xorg.conf must be in /etx/X11

Hope this will help.
