So I bought a wide-screen monitor, 1920x1200. I can't make my
combination of hardware and software drive the 16:10 aspect ratio.
Video card is Nvidia NV11 GeForce2 MX/MX400 in AGP slot. Has a single
analog VGA connector. Monitor can use either VGA or DVI.
Operating system is (still not upgraded) Fedora Core 3.
/etc/X11/xorg.conf uses "nv" driver. tt works reasonably well at
1600x1200 although the display is somewhat distorted. Icon of a CDrom
is definitely elliptical
Do I need newer software, or a newer video card? I realize that DVI
is the new thing.
I will try a Fedora 8 live CD as soon as I finish composing this message.
