Low resolution screen 17 weeks 1 day ago

Hello everyone,

I'm a new user of Fedora 18. I have a Acer Aspire 5750G.

xrandr doesn't workxrandr xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default Screen 0: minimum 1024 x 768, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1024 x 768 default connected 1024x768+0+0 0mm x 0mm 1024x768 0.0* 00:01.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Device 9647Im using a toshiba satellite L745D-s4230 with AMD processor and radeon graphics; I want to get 1368X768 as well,

In this question I'm asking how to install a compatible driver to a Fedora machine, but, the main problem is a bad resolution.

So, how can I find the best resolution to my monitor and put it to work?

Please answer me with a complete solution or a successfully tutorial.

Some system info is:

$ lspci | grep VGA 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Fam

is it a driver problem that default resolution is not set. please help

OK. So I have been trying my native resolution monitor, of 1440x900. It always stretches to standard 1280x720 and I can't see all of the screen.
