Latest XFree86.0log
This is for if information from this file is needed.
Ah, I see. 'current' wasn't being initialized unless the list of available resolutions could be retrieved. Since ddcprobe was returning bogus values, the list was unavailable, so 'current' wasn't initialized. Should be fixed in redhat-config-xfree86-0.9.10-1. Thanks for your report. I'm glad it bis resolved now, with the next version. Looking forward to having it working again. Hi,
I,m a newbie here and i'm not sure if its right to add this here (since the bug
had already been declared closed).
I've updated to the latest redhat-config-xfree86 (-0.9.10-1), and using
XFree86-4.3.0-39, i still have the said problem of starting display setting. The
message i got is
[root@rhema deji]# redhat-config-xfree86
* ddcprobe returned bogus values:
ID: SEC0000
Name: None
HorizSync: None
VertSync: None
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/redhat-config-xfree86/xconf.py", line 406, in ?
dialog = xConfigDialog.XConfigDialog(hardware_state, xconfig, vc)
File "/usr/share/redhat-config-xfree86/xConfigDialog.py", line 398, in __init__
key, value = string.split(card.driver, ":")
ValueError: unpack list of wrong size.
I have a laptop with radeon IGP 340M (345M?). The card was not detected during a
clean install of FC test3, ditto for both test1 and 2 but i've then been able to
use the display setting to change the vesa driver to radeon mobility U1.
Regards.
I installed redhat-config-xfree86-0.9.10-1 and then tried to change the display.
I got additional errors, as described below.
I will attach XFree86.0.log and .xsession errors again.

Adding my current XF86Config file (last edited aug 13, 2003)
Oops, I made the change in the wrong part of the code. Give redhat-config-xfree86-0.9.12-1 a try and see if that doesn't work. redhat-config-xfree86-0.9.12-1 too doesn't seems to have the problem, i still
get this,
[root@rhema deji]# redhat-config-xfree86

The fix worked. But there were a few things that I did before trying the newer version. I did get a message on screen. This message was printed on screen. * ddcprobe returned bogus values: ID: HSD1508 Name: �FZP� HorizSync: None VertSync: None Back to the steps I did to get redhat-config to work. 1) go to ftp://people.redhat.com/bfox and retrieve the version from the site. 2) run rpm -U redhat-config*.rpm --oldpackage 3) run redhat-config-xfree86. It brings up the program. Change a few settings, then restart X. 4) notice that I could only check 640 x 480 resolution. 5) Install the version of redhat-config-xfree86 from severn2 6) Change display settings to reflect an hp LCD 14 inch display. Previously there was no selection for display. 7) Exit X, then restart. 8) run redhat-config-xfree86 and select display. Select 1280 x 690. 9) close, then restart X. Notice display is a lot better. 10) install redhat-config-xfree86-0.9.12-1 11) run redhat-config-xfree86-0.9.12-1 12) Check display settings, but did not try to change them. As a note: During the initial installation of Severn. I could not choose the display during the install. I just passed it. This problem followed through from all beta cycles 1,2 and 3 I assume that this shortcoming might be causing some X configuration problems.
