    Is there any way to change the resolution of fedora 6 window to anything larger than 1024 x 768? 1024 x 768 is just too small to work with. I want to change it to 1280 x 960. I have modified the xorg.conf file according to the Parallels User Guide but it didn't work. For some reasons, the best I can get is 1024x768. Any suggestions?

    I am running build 3150 on an 20" iMac with 2G memory. The fedora VM has 512M with 16M video RAM which should allow max resolution of 2560 x 1600, according to the memory options window.

    Here is what my xorg.conf looks like. The ModeLine values were generated by gtf 1280 960 60.

    Is there anything wrong in this file? Thanks for all the helps.
