Hi,

Are you using 915resolution provided by SL47 (915resolution-0.5.3-5.sl4)?

If yes, your /etc/sysconfig/915resolution should look like that

BIOS_TYPE=3a
X=1440
Y=900

And you have to enable the service 915resolution in order to get
915resolution running on bootup.

chkconfig 915resolution on


Cheers,

    Urs
