I have just installed Linux RedHat 9.0 on an emachines M5105 notebook (set up as a dual boot machine with the already installed Windows XP). The machine has a 15.4" widescreen display with 1280x800 resolution. The problem is that RH9 does not recognise the widescreen, i.e. everything is stretched. I think it assumes my display has the standard aspect ratio of 4/3. (It is fine under Windows.) Does anyone have any suggestions/experience as to how I can get the correct aspect ratio, i.e. things not stretched? There are no appropriate options available under linux. I assume I have to modify the XF86Config file, but I am unsure how (the few modifications I already tried made no difference.) Or, in the worst case, is there a way in which I can get the normal aspect ratio of 4/3 (e.g. 1024x768) by including black stripes at the sides? The graphics card is an Intel 852 (Intel 82852/82855 GM/GME) with 64 MB and the i810 driver.
