Does your XF86Config file actually have the larger resolutions in its Screen section? This is probably an X issue. What does "xrandr" say if you run it on the command line? Reply to Comment #1 (by J Blanford) No, but that is the whole point. The installation should detect all the possible resolutions and create an XF86Conig with all those possible resolutions.

The redhat-config-xfree86 tool is used to modify this selection. Due to how XFree86 servers work you cannot write out the higher resolution modes in the XF86Config file or you will get a virtual desktop. Kinda makes xrandr useless. Same situation with my IIyama Vision Master Pro510 (21") and Nvidia Geforce3 card.
Comparing RH9 XFree86 with the one from FCtest3 shows:

So, the max resolution with anaconda and with redhat-config-xfree86 is 1024x786
wich is not a lot for a 21" monitor.
Gantry: As root, run '/usr/sbin/ddcprobe' and paste the results here. Closing due to lack of information. |
Description of problem: The Screen Resolution (/etc/X11/XF86Config) tool recognizes that I am using a Riva TNT with a Dell 1626HT monitor, but 1152x864x'millions of colors' at 85Hz is the highest it will configure it to go. Yet it can be set for greater than this. In fact, when I was running RH9, I had it set to 1600x1200 with the same hardware configuration. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora Core "Severn" beta - Test3 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: I expect it to have 1600x1200 as a possible choice for screen resolution. Additional info:
