I cant seem to change my resolution from 1280x720 to 1024x1280 even though my monitor supports it.
Can you run xrandr | fpaste and post the link.
hm. can you also run fpaste --sysinfo and what monitor are you using?
the link : https://paste.fedoraproject.org/456279/47698209
and the monitor i am using is a samsung syncmaster 713n
Thats the same link as before :P

ah awesome thats it.
Hm not sure why it does this, it seems to happen on rare occasions on certain monitors on any Linux distro.
Best suggestion i have is to try this fix http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-change-display-resolution-settings-using-xrandr.html
Or upgrade to Fedora 25 beta (but im not sure how likely it is to fix it, a lot of the GPU changes are in amdgpu which i dont think your card supports at all)
k fine , thanks a lot!
Is it on both sides?
nope
Does your motherboard have onboard graphics? Can you try with that?
Try
sudo dnf install monitor-edid
monitor-edidthen use the appropriate mode line from that output in the guide you used above to get the resolution working
when try monitor-edid i get an error:
ERROR: timeout during EDID probe
Had the same issue once, it was simple to fix, but it was so long ago... :(
Is it just one screen?
Try:
xrandr -s 1680x1050 (or whatever the native resolution of your screen is)
and then reboot your machine.
nah, didnt work ;(
