This is what I've been trying to do, but I'm not getting anywhere with
it. All I can get is a max of 800x600. Here is an extract from
Xorg.0.log:

Here are some errors I'm getting in Xorg.0.log:
...
(WW) NVIDIA(GPU-0): Unable to read EDID for display device CRT-0
...
(WW) NVIDIA(0): No valid modes for "1366x768_60"; removing.
(II) NVIDIA(0): Validated modes:
(II) NVIDIA(0):     "800x600"
(II) NVIDIA(0):     "640x480"
(II) NVIDIA(0): Virtual screen size determined to be 800 x 600
(WW) NVIDIA(0): Unable to get display device CRT-0's EDID; cannot compute DPI
(WW) NVIDIA(0):     from CRT-0's EDID.
...

And here's my Screen section:
Section "Screen"
    Identifier     "Screen0"
    Device         "Videocard0"
    Monitor        "Monitor0"
    DefaultDepth    16
    SubSection     "Display"
        Viewport    0 0
        Depth       16
        Modes      "1366x768_60" "800x600" "640x480"
    EndSubSection
EndSection

What I'm trying to do now is increase logverbosity to 6 so I can see
what the resolutions in the mode pool are - but I can't even work out
how to do that! I'm booting into runlevel 5 so I don't have a startx
command and I don't have a .xinitrc file. Does anyone know what to add
to what file to add a startup parameter to X on FC5?

Regards,
Phill
