Screen resolution

| My Dell Inspiron E1505/6400 laptop has 1680x1050 display. However, I
| can't get anything higher than 1400x1050 out of Fedora. This is my
| xorg.cong:

| Section "Device"
|       Identifier  "Videocard0"
|       Driver      "vesa"
| EndSection

Guess: the VESA driver can only support resolutions listed in the
video BIOS.  Your video BIOS probably does not have the 1680x1050
resolution as one of its modes.  This would not limit a native driver
(except the intel one).

What is the video controller?  If Intel, google for "915resolution".
