This post is one of several documenting the installation and configuration of Fedora Core 3 on my Sager 9860. There is a "table of contents" post here .
======================================================
A post on these forums got me up and running initially. Big thanks to jeffmcclure for that. One thing: his post only mentions the importance of the ModeLine entry in his xorg.conf file. But the line: Option "IgnoreEDID" "True" is just as important. It won't work without both lines in the config file.
Below is my xorg.conf file for using the built-on screen on my Sager 9860 and Fedora Core 3. Some notes regarding this setup:
1) I have some extra "Modes" specified in the "Screen" section. I'm not sure, but I think these help with games like Quake3 and Doom3.
2) I have a second "InputDevice" section for "DevInputMice." This stops Quake3 based games from interpretting a left+right mouse click as a middle click. Very helpful when fragging!
