Folks – Anyone using an HP f70 Flat Screen monitor under RedHat 8.0 with good resolution???
I’ve been trying a number of settings with no success.
Please see copy of earlier correspondence below echoing the same issues that I’m having.

f70 flat panel display w/ Red Hat 8.0 Susan A
My Pavilion 783 is set up to dual boot RH 8.0 &
XP. When I installed RH, it probed the monitor and came up with "hp
f70" and a range of refresh rates (as well as Intel 845 for the video
card, which is correct). I set the display to 1280 x 1024 (the native
resolution). When Gnome started, the display showed a wide black bar along the
top and bottom, only using about 80% or so of the height (but the full width).
Everything on the screen was stretched out. I got a popup message on my screen
(from the monitor itself, not from Linux) to "Set PC at 1280 x 1024 60 Hz
refresh rate" - it was already set at 1280 x 1024, but the refresh rate
was a range from 31-80 Hz or thereabouts. Also, when I clicked on the menu
button on the monitor, it said "Out of range" at the top. Note: If you are the author of this

Hi,
Thank you for your response... unfortunately, that did
not work. It was already set at 30-80 & 56-75 @ 1280 x 1024, but still
condensing it to what looks like 1280 x 960. So I tried changing the vertical
to 60 as per your suggestion, that did not help either. Then I deleted the 1280
x 960 mode option from the config file entirely, that did not help either. Any
other ideas? All of the settings appear to be correct, the display settings
radio button is at 1280 x 1024, it just refuses to stop displaying at what
looks like 1280 x 960 and my monitor tells me it's out of range, "Set PC
at 1280 x 1024 @ 60 Hz" - which is exactly what it IS set at - any more
ideas? I am attaching the config file. Susan A
One other thing I forgot to mention - already tried
CTRL ALT + and CTRL ALT - which did not help either.
I have the same issue that Susan A mentioned - trying
to setup an HP f70 monitor with RedHat 8 and I see the exact issues any help Regards, :-[PdV]-: Peter D. Vouvounas Ofc: 732.701.1130 Cell: 732.674.4001 Mailto: wb3fsr comcast net InterActive 2way: wb3fsr imcingular com
