How do I change screen resolution in Fedora 15?

I installed Fedora 15 recently and am struggling to find a way to set screen resolution to greater than 1280x800. Has anybody tried doing this?

DVI1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) [root@dev bin]# xrandr -s 19201080 Size index 1920 is too large, there are only 4 sizes – Srini Kandula – 2011-06-21T04:28:56.363

You used the wrong syntax - the command you wanted is xrandr -s 1920x1280. Note the 'x' character between the dimensions, not the '*' character that you used.

this is what I get now. [root@dev bin]# xrandr -s 1640x1040 Size 1640x1040 not found in available modes – Srini Kandula – 2011-06-22T04:47:59.047

[NOT SOLVED]: The error is "Size 1920x1280 not found in available modes". I have the same problem too, using Fedora 15, i get also this error to go higher then the default maximum value i had. – YumYumYum – 2011-09-12T21:41:14.850
