I’m trying to make my computer work with a Fedora 32 live DVD. Video issues make it either crap out or only give me 640×480. Grrrr. CentOS 7 is running just fine.

I think I could make it go by booting to runlevel 3 and running startx manually. For that to work, I think I need to pass startx the right configuration file.

To me, ’tain’t obvious what to put in that file. Is there a way to get CentOS 7 to generate a configuaration file for me?

  • Note: I have discovered xrandr –verbose, but do not know what to do with the information. Is there a complete example file somewhere?

    Using xrandr from F32 does not seem to work. I either get told can’t do that or that just does not happen.
