    This is very bad news, so it seems, I cannot get the full widescreen
    resolution with FC4 either.

    I did not even try to get 3D acceleration, because I wanted a
    distribution which can handle the screen - and I am actually not using
    apps which need 3D acceleration badly.

    So it seems I have to play around with Ubuntu a bit or give Suse 9.3 a
    try (should be on their servers for free download this week).
