Hey everybody.
I just installed FC7 via the LIVE KDE distro.
All went well.
My question is regarding using my Westinghouse 43" monitor/HDTV with my workstation.
I have a older Pentium III.
The normal 1280 resolution works ok, (slightly shifted to the right and i cant seem to fix that).
But when I switch to 1680 or 1920 for wide aspect ratio, my desktop is shifted vertically by 50%. meaning the top of the page is now on he bottom of the screen and the bottom of the page is at the top of the screen... with a black gap in t he center.
So Fedora seems to identify my video card as a Radeon 8500. So i was naturally thinking I needed to maybe update my drivers? I've red a tom of posts regarding ATI and drivers editing xorg.conf etc....
I'm a bit lost as to what the best approach is.
I've tried downloading and installing t he Linux drivers from ATI but get some error that the directory x130 is missing and maybe I should manually specify it and it gave me a list of 8 examples none of which worked... yadda yadda.
Anywhoo... what's the best plan of attach here. I have a clean install and I'm ready to roll with whatever recommendations you all give me.
(should i go buy a new low end NVidia card? this ISN'T for gaming. Just music and video server.)
