Ahh, another Intel 855 owner with a widescreen laptop. I have a similar
video chipset in my JVC MiniNote, and FC3 was no fun to get set up right
on the chip. I've only got a 1024x600 screen, so I at least didn't have
to resort to strange tricks to get the laptop's screen to work at full
resolution, save for adding a custom modeline.
However, power management has been a bear - specifically, suspend and
resume and 3D acceleration. On FC3 (updated or stock), any GL
application will crash if started after suspend (sometimes taking the X
server with it and leaving the machine in a state that requires a
reboot, sometimes not). I fixed this under FC3, but I haven't put FC4
on my machine yet. Since you have it on there, does 3D acceleration
work after an ACPI suspend/resume cycle on your laptop under Fedora Core
4?
