Hi all,

I just installed Fedora Core 4 in my home PC, it doesn't recognize ViewSonic
PF790 Monitor, so I can not set the resoultion and refresh rates properly.
Can any body, please, let me know what can I do and where can I find a
driver. I searched in Google, but I couldn't find a suitable driver.

Please reply to the group only.

Thanks for your help.

Regards.

John

Yes, FC4 does have the appropriate information about your Viewsonic
monitor and can configure your monitor correctly, just use the
system-config-display tool (from the console or xterm session type in;
system-config-display). You can also set the resolution specs by hand
editing the xorg.conf found in /etc/X11, sample sections below;

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Monitor Vendor"
ModelName "ViewSonic PF790"
HorizSync 30.0 - 97.0
VertRefresh 50.0 - 180.0
Option "dpms"
EndSection



Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 16
Modes "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection

That's the only place that is appropriate, unless you expect to pay for
private help.
