What did you have to do to get the vesa driver to work. I'm using Fedora 11 64bit. I logged into runlevel 3 and did an Xorg -configure followed by copying the xorg.conf to the /etc/X11/ dir. Then I updated the Driver string to say "vesa". Also I tried using the system-config-display.

Both of them work fine in that they display a GUI but not at the correct resolution. On Mandriva or any other distro -- what did y'all have to do to get the vesa driver to display at the correct resolution?
