Ubuntu works reasonably, but I wanted to see how Fedora Core 6 performs. Here are the agonies and ecstasies !
Step 1: install Fedora Core 6
Worked fine. It recognized the ATI X1400 and so was able to install, unlike Ubuntu which hung up. But the screen resolution is 1400 X 1050 instead of 1680 X 1050. Possibly need to download the drivers fron ATI.
The Fedora core 6 recognized the dual core CPU.
Step 2: Wired Networking
Networking. Interestingly the network is not working. Need to figure out why.
Step 3 : Wireless Networking
The intel wireless drivers are at http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df-external/filter_results.aspx?strTypes=all&ProductID=2259&OSFullName=Linux*〈=eng&strOSs=39&submit=Go%21.
Hey! Did you ever get the resolution to 1680 x 1050 with the ATI graphics card on fc6? My native resolution is the same, and would like to put fc6 on this baby.

It’s been almost half a year that I’m trying to get 1680×1050 resolution out of my E1505 with the ATI X1400. Any known solutions?
