Enabling WXGA (1240x768) on Packard Bell EasyNote under Fedora Core 3
I have tried all kinds of things to enable the display at 1240x768px (the exact pixel size of my panel). The machine is a Packard Bell EasyNote and I am running:
xorg-x11-6.8.2-1 with kernel 2.6.12-1.1381_FC3
These are the monitor and screen parts of xorg.conf:

Your panel is broke as it returns wrong data - even windows will have edge of desktop detached, since you counted 1240 and 768.
Go first without modelines and custom resolutions and post i810 driver chipset identifications, right above first lines you posted, smth like this:
(--) RADEON(0): Chipset: "ATI Radeon 9200SE 5964 (AGP)" (ChipID = 0x5964)

Thanks for your advice. These lines appear to be related to the chipset identifications. Under windows (it's a dual boot system) the screen works fine.

Download i915 driver from Intel, it does any resolution, but last time right in this site it was checked as nonworking under 2.6 kernel
