Hi all,
I just did a fresh install of FC5 on my laptop, which has a Intel
915GM graphics chipset. For some reason, anaconda didn't correctly
detect this and chose what appears to be an incorrect graphics driver;
it displays at only 800x600 (should be 1200x800) and doesn't repaint
the screen properly; also, there is no visible mouse pointer. Here is
the relevant section of xorg.conf:
[...]
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Monitor Vendor"
ModelName "Unknown monitor"
### Comment all HorizSync and VertSync values to use DDC:
HorizSync 31.5 - 37.9
VertRefresh 50.0 - 70.0
Option "dpms"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "i810"
VendorName "Videocard vendor"
BoardName "Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 16
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 16
Modes "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection
[...]
Can someone tell me how to fix this?
Thanks.
