So i finally have a linux distro thats good for me (Fedora core 8) and i was looking to setup beryl but it wasnt listed when i searched the list of apps to install, i got compiz to work, but my screen is locked at 640x480 when i used the vendor supplied drivers for my 8800gts (that is the REAL problem) none of the methods i read worked for me to fix this, i tried xandre or something like that. tried editing xorg.conf, no luck. any help would really be appreciated. thanks
(i have x86, 8800gts 640mb, 2gb ram at 800mhz, core 2 duo at 2.3ghz)
Now IF you know your graphics card spec and your monitor capablilities, plus which driver and it's enabled modes you should be able to force a higher resolution. (hope you kept the books, or are good with manufacturers sites)
It could be that there is something wrong with your driver install, so the system is running default xvesa vga mode.
