Description Dax Kelson 2004-04-26 19:27:46 UTC
Description of problem:

I just did a Test3 install. During firstboot --> display I changed my
color depth to "millions" instead of "thousands".

I noticed that I had both files:

/etc/X11/XF86Config
and
/etc/X11/xorg.conf

I don't know if that is intentional or not, but it's confusing at least.

The contents did differ:

+++ /etc/X11/xorg.conf  2004-04-26 02:00:59.000000000 -0600

Comment 1 Dax Kelson 2004-04-26 19:31:02 UTC
BTW, according to SELinux rhgb is trying to read /etc/X11/XF86Config.
I filed that as bug 121726.

Comment 2 Phil Schaffner 2004-04-27 13:03:09 UTC
Did a fresh NFS install of rawhide/fc2t3: server + KDE/Gnome +
development + graphical internet + multimedia + some additional tools.
The configuration specified in the firstboot setup was written to
/etc/X11/XF86Config, but X started with the default values in
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.  Copying /etc/X11/XF86Config over
/etc/X11/xorg.conf gives the desired behavior.  Attempting to
reconfigure X from the Gnome "System Settings/Display" menu as root
only gives resolution options of 640x480 or 800x600.  (This is
probably another bug - will file as such.)
