HP DV3-4300sa Fedora 14 Monitor Setup

Having finally finding some time to sit with my new HP Laptop I have managed to get the screen to work during boot up, and the Wifi connection to work. (Now just have to see about the intermittent fault on the fixed ethernet port).

Getting the graphics working
0. Install the ati-driver-installer-11-8-x86.x86_64.run driver direct from the support.amd.com web site - http://support.amd.com/us/Pages/AMDSupportHub.aspx
- Category: Notebook Graphics
- Product Line: Radeon HD Series
- Product Model: Radeon HD 6xxxM Series
- Operating System: Linux x86_64

1. Remove from /etc/grub.conf kernel line
- rhgb

2. Add to /etc/grub.conf kernel line
- video=VGA-1:e vga=0x318

3. Added /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/45custom_xrandr-settings

#!/bin/bash
xrandr --addmode VGA1 1366x768
xrandr --output LVDS1 --mode 1366x768 --fb 1366x768
xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1366x768 --fb 1366x768

4. chmod +x /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/45custom_xrandr-settings

5. /etc/X11/xorg.conf
