I installed Fedora 15 recently and am struggling to find a way to set screen resolution to greater than 1280x800. Has anybody tried doing this?

Here is what tried [root@dev bin]# xrandr Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1280 x 800, maximum 8192 x 8192 LVDS1 connected 1280x800+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 304mm x 190mm 1280x800 60.0*+ 50.0 1024x768 60.0 800x600 60.3 56.2 640x480 59.9 VGA1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 1920x1080 59.9 DVI1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) [root@dev bin]# xrandr -s 1920*1080 Size index 1920 is too large, there are only 4 sizes – Srini Kandula Jun 21 '11 at 4:28

You used the wrong syntax - the command you wanted is xrandr -s 1920x1280. Note the 'x' character between the dimensions, not the '*' character that you used.

this is what I get now. [root@dev bin]# xrandr -s 1640x1040 Size 1640x1040 not found in available modes – Srini Kandula Jun 22 '11 at 4:47
[NOT SOLVED]: The error is "Size 1920x1280 not found in available modes". I have the same problem too, using Fedora 15, i get also this error to go higher then the default maximum value i had. – YumYumYum Sep 12 '11 at 21:41
