I have recently bought an HP pavillion notebook and installed redhat
7.0. When I ran Xconfigurator, the only combination which did not give
me an error is 8bit color option which results in extremely large font
and only the middle 1/4 of the screen is used and the rest is blank.
Any idea why and what can be done about it. here is the specs for the PC
