Display Resolution

Hi folks,
I'm unable to alter the screen resolution on my Dell laptop with CentOS7.
Well, not strictly true, I'm given two choices: 800 by 600 or 1024 by 768.
My native resolution is 1200 by 800; how do I achieve this lofty goal.
Many thanks
Mike

Sounds like you don't have the right driver loaded for the video card. What does lspci -nn | grep -i vga report?

Hi Trevor and thanks for responding.
I get this:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation GT218M [NVS 3100M] [10de:0a6c] (rev a2)
I must confess I only installed the basic CD-sized image so I could be missing some bits and pieces.
Thanks
Mike

I suggest you head to ELRepo and see if their nvidia-detect package tells you if your card is supported by their kmod-nvidia packages

Will do. Thanks very much for the tip.
It's odd that I never had this issue with Cent OS 6.5...
You don't think I should download a larger image?
Cheers
Mike
