After updating my RH9 installation to the latest kernel (last one
distributed) I was no longer able to get a screen resolution higher than
800X600. I had to recompile the nvidia driver after installing the new
kernel. Attached is a video-section excerpt from the XF86Config file.
The resolution indicated in the file is the one I was using before, so I
know the hardware supports it. Any suggestions on how to restore higher
resolution with this video card? (Nvidia Gforce 440)
Thanks
