FC5 & Dell 2007FPW - Anybody got widescreen? - SOLVED, sort of..

[Naoki]

Having been fed up with the lack of a correct resolution I decided to
upgrade to fedora rawhide, I've been updating daily and messing about
with my xorg.conf to try and get this resolved without the need for
915resolution.  

Over the weekend I logged into my work box, updated it  (Fedora Core
release 5.90 rawhide as of 20070709), then rebooted it. 

To my happy surprise this morning I moved the mouse and when the screen
un-blanked it was at the correct resolution, no panning, nothing cropped
off the screen.  Ohh joy and happy days..

So, the package versions that might be of interest to people are :

xorg-x11-drv-i810-1.6.0-6.modeset20060707
xorg-x11-drivers-7.1-2
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.1.0-27.fc6

And my xorg.conf file is here :


[root at localhost ~]# cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf

# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the
# lines below (which are the defaults).  For example, for a non-U.S.
# keyboard, you will probably want to use:
#       Option  "XkbModel"      "pc102"
# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
#       Option  "XkbModel"      "microsoft"
#
# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
#       Option  "XkbLayout"     "de"
# or:
#       Option  "XkbLayout"     "de"
#       Option  "XkbVariant"    "nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
# control keys, use:
#       Option  "XkbOptions"    "ctrl:swapcaps"
# Or if you just want both to be control, use:
#       Option  "XkbOptions"    "ctrl:nocaps"
