Fedora Core 5: The screen
I finally found the time to install FC5. ok, I didn’t have the time but I was convinced I needed an upgrade. It seemed that sleep and suspend was working and there were several improvements in the i810 driver (for intel graphical cards). For example when you closed the lid (of your dell latitude d610 laptop) in FC4 the screen went black, when you opened it, it stayed black. With FC5 this is solved.
The resolution is default 1024×768. For FC4 you have to compile and install several programs, for FC5 the fix is extremely easy.
The only thing you have to do is to put following 2 lines in comment in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
HorizSync 31.5 - 90.0 VertRefresh 59.0 - 75.0
You find these 2 lines in the Monitor section
