So I install Fedora Core 3 on a Dell Latitude c810.
Screen that shows is about 1/4 the size of the screen area.
No matter what monitor type is selected, resolution, etc.
Guys, Windoze 98 thru XP installs and detects this monitor on this laptop without a flaw.
I really like Linux, and am an advocate, but damn. How can we expect anyone to adopt and embrace an OS that can't detect the proper monitor type and resolution?
I've searched numerous threads and googled the hell out of this topic. Why? It's just a frickking laptop, less than two years old. It's a DELL for cripes sake. Not some knock-off brand.
Now on an old Compaq Armada ES500, no problem.
Help. Simple howto help.
