Fedora Hardware :: How Does Determine Supported Resolutions
Feb 28, 2010
I'm using an HP 2009m 20" widescreen monitor, and have a Nvidia 8500gt video card. Latest Nvidia drivers from RPM Fusion are installed.
My problem is that the only widescreen resolution I have a choice of in both nvidia-settings and gnome's "Display preferences," is 1600x900. While this is fine for desktop apps, my video card doesn't handle games very well at that resolution.
So, I know my card and monitor are capable of displaying other widescreen resolutions (such as 1360x768) because they work in Windows 7, but Fedora doesn't give me the choice of selecting them.
Is there a file that Fedora uses to determine the supported resolutions? How would I be able to select resolutions that I know are supported (at least in Windows 7)? Can editing xorg.conf give me this ability?
I just looked in my xorg.conf, and it's surprisingly slim compared to others I've seen.

I'm fairly new to Fedora. I am using F14, on a brand new laptop. The LCD screen needs to be matched with a 16:9 ratio, or it stretches everything out. Unfortunately F14 only comes offering three options... none of which are 16:9. Is there an easy way for me to add a 16:9 ratio to my display settings? Does it matter that I am running in low graphics mode?..... it's the only way the liveCd would install.

I am currently using fc11, the problem is that i only have one desktop screen resolution to select which is 1280x800 under my System>Preferences>Display. I am actually wanted more options of screen resolutions just like in Windows. I am using laptop Dell Vostro1400 with Intel card.

I have two identical machines. I updated one (yum update), and now I can't view the display when it boots up; however, I can ssh into it. I'm pretty sure it's a resolution display issue on a KVM connected to the machines.
Years ago, I could view and change the default resolution in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Now, it appears that information has been moved to another location.
My xorg.conf on the working and non-working machines is the same:
Code:
Nothing is mentioned about a resolution setting. Everything I google says to modify this file. Does anyone know where the default resolution settings are stored these days?

Does anyone know of a way to determine how the PC/Server was powered on? I'm interested in writing a startup script that performs a specific action depending on the poweron cause.
For example:
If powered on by "wakalarm" perform task X & shutdown.
If powered on by "power button" perform task Y.
Is there any way to determine the cause of the power on? I'm running Federa 12.

Google answers attempted:
# grep lm /proc/cpuinfo
# uname -m
# file /sbin/init
# file /usr/bin/file
I don't think none of the above gives deterministic answer. Since I have 32-bit & 64-bit different system all of above spit out the same info.

I see from the netspeed applet that my computer is downloading stuff almost constantly. Not a whole lot, 8b - 700b per second while apparently doing nothing. Some of this is just responding to broadcasts from the router, but surely not all. I would like to be able to determine which programs are accessing the internet over that wireless card, with a view to cutting down on my bandwidth usage. Is there a program that can tell me which ones are doing what at a given time?

From the terminal, or a script, how can I determine the media type (CDDA, DVD, ISO, etc) of a mounted optical disc? I need this for an automated script on my headless media server - Fedora 12 64bit.

I tried to remove PackageKit from F15 the other day and it removed, amongst other things GDM. Kind of hosed and I re-installed. I want to remove two components in particular, the command-not-found one and the software updater, (the old add/remove programs). How do I determine what packages would be removed? I thought there was an option in yum, but it doesn't seem to be in the manual.

I'm writing to you because I encountered the following problem. My program displayes all network interfaces that are available in the system, but I would like to adda functionality in which a user can enter a destination address IP (ex. the IP address of the Google search engine) and will get information which network interface will be used to send it. As I know it is associated with reading information from routing table in the system. Maybe you know the API (functions/methods) which I could use to do it in RedHat ? I program in C/C++, but if you know how to do it in other programming languages (Java, Perl, Python) I will be grateful for any information.

How to determine what type of files clamav can scan? For example, if there is no unrar installed it can't scan files in it. So is there any way to find out all types of files that clamav can't scan?

I have Fedora Linux 13 64bit system. I use System Monitor to check which process is taking how much memory and cpu. Normally I have dozens of Chrome and Firefox windows open. The Processes tab shows which process is taking how much cpu/ram resources but I unfortunately there is no option like right click and make the window active that matches the PID (the one process that I have currently highlighted). Usually there is a chrome process taking up 30 or 40 percent of CPU while dozens other chrome processes taking much less cpu. I must determine which chrome window ( or any application which has multiple instances running) is taking that much CPU time. So can some one help me to solve this problem?

Is there an easy way to determine the concise history of all the times I've run yum to install packages on my machine? I'm migrating to FC15 and I'd like to duplicate the old machine as much as possible on the new machine, and therefore, I'd like to know what I installed on it.

I just got a new DVD burner and decided to get a cheapest burner (an LG SATA burner) I did not have much preferences on either IDE or SATA so I just got a serial ATA. K3B burns DVD's just fine, but the speed is pegged at 1x even though writing speed specified was 8x. Device buffer is fluctuating from 0 to 80% all the time, which seems to suggest that the data is not being fed into the drive at good sustained rate to write faster.
I tried:
hdparm -d /dev/sr0
which I got:
/dev/sr0:
HDIO_GET_DMA failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
doing:
hdparm /dev/sr0

My brother is a linux master and the computers I get handed down are obviously all use linux. I am trying to play a wmv file on my comp. I just downloaded mplayer but it seems not to work. I have movie player as well but it tells me the file is not supported. Read about w32codecs but they seem not to be available anymore. Maybe I need to convert the wmv to mpeg but yet I don't know how.

I'm having problems with NX, it's doing strange things, trying to connect to some IP host in timbuktoo because my DNS provider's DNS sucks AND because NX is looking up the host "localhost" without first consulting my hosts file (which nsswitch explicitly tells it to do). THAT's all beside the point.
To work around this apparent bug in NX I tried creating an iptables rule to redirect traffic destin for a certain IP (10.x.x.x) to localhost (127.0.0.1) with the following rule: iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -d 10.x.x.x -j DNAT --to 127.0.0.1. After adding the above rule, my attempts to connect to that host continued to get routed right off into the internet where I DIDN't want them to go. Instead of being redirected to the localhost/loopback address.
It seems DNAT to localhost is not supported? A Google search reveals many other people having this issue but blaming it on everything but iptables. I'm proposing that it's not supported, by design or not, to redirect traffic from a NIC to the loopback network?

I have compiled the OpenJDK with NPPlugin support for fedora 12. It works very well in Firefox 3.6. I would like to share it with you. Download the RPMs from the output of koji and run: #yum localinstall java-1.6.0-openjdk* It will upgrade your openjdk. The plugin can be used in Firefox 3.6 in both remi's rpm or F13's firefox,

I'm trying to test out UEFI boot and install with Fedora 13. It looks like it is not supported...at least not in the standard x86-64 DVD image. Running 'dumpet' on the .iso shows no EFI boot section (whereas, for example, RHEL6 Beta-2 x86-64 DVD .iso does show one); see output below. Will there [ever] be UEFI supported boot/install CD/DVD .isos for Fedora?

I have downloaded Fedora 11 x64, and I went to the adobe website and downloaded the tar.gz file for flash player. I went into the terminal to untar the file and after I did that I tried to install it and got this error :
ERROR: Your architecture, 'x86_64', is not supported by the Adobe Flash Player installer. What does this mean? My dad could get his to install but his is 32 bit.Do I have to wait until the full version is out?

Can anyone suggest a wireless-N adapter (USB or PCI) that is well supported under F13? And do you think an upgrade from G to N is worth it? I'm probably going to upgrade my router to N in any case as the old one is buggy and/or dying.

I read somewhere that if you run nVIDIA, that a PAE kernel won't work with it. Not supported, IIRC... Any truth to this? - My linux is (so it seems anyway) OK & I'd rather not mess it up. But I WOULD like to "use" all 4G of memory I have.
