You should try using specific modelines if you have a resolution you prefer. I also recommend adding a few lines to your /etc/X11/XF86Config: Option "IgnoreEDID" "true" Option "NoBandWidthTest" "true" Option "IgnoreDisplayDevices" "DFP, TV" These would go into your Device section. The last line assumes you are using a regular CRT monitor as opposed to a flat panel. The modeline generator can be found in www.sh.nu under the nvidia section.

Several of us have hacked up kernel 2.[56] support; I'm pretty sure you can find some info regarding Fedora Core on nvnews.net under the Linux section. -- Daniel T.
