/etc/X11/xorg.conf file used on affected laptop
I am no X11 expert, but a similar configuration worked in XFree86.
Just FYI, my current work-around is to manually change the screen resolution every time I login using the gnome-display-properties tool. This is undesirable because this wasn't required when using FC1 and XFree86. This seems to be a configuration issue, but it isn't completely clear. Please file a bug report in upstream X.org bugzilla at http://bugs.freedesktop.org in the "xorg" component, in order to maximize the number of potential developers aware of this issue who may be able to investigate and/or make a suggestion. If you paste your upstream bug URL here, we will also track the issue in upstream bugzilla. I will open the bug with X.org. Will post URL when it's available. The reason why I don't believe this is a configuration issue is that the desired behavior was acheived by simply switching to the Nvidia binary driver. I know RH cannot support Nvidia's release without source code. There's no way of telling what it's doing to automagically adjust the screen res. Perhaps this bug would be more appropriately filed against the nv video driver? However, I didn't see 'nv' in the component list so this was the best I could do. We don't have a separate component per driver, just for the X package as a whole. The "nv" driver, while open source code, is mostly useless unless you are an Nvidia employee, as it is completely obfuscated and programs registers on the hardware by hexadecimal register number, with hex values. The hardware documentation is also unavailable. In order to have a bug in the "nv" driver investigated and fixed, one needs to report the bug to X.Org directly, and hopefully the "nv" driver maintainer or someone from Nvidia can investigate the issue. We can then track the issue in the upstream bugzilla once we're made aware of the URL, and consider using any bugfixes that become available. We do not directly develop the "nv" driver or have knowledge of Nvidia hardware operation however, so we're reliant on Nvidia to provide bug fixes and hardware updates. Thanks for reporting upstream. Setting status to "UPSTREAM", and awaiting bug URL for tracking. See included upstream bugzilla link |
