This is two issues on two different components - gnome-display-properties and system-config-display 1) g-d-properites not resetting back to system settings on logout Please retest on Fedora Core 3 test1 this seems to be working for me fine resolution switches back to system settings. You should not need to change the system resolution. 2) Non-standard resolutions on LCD displays Sadly this is non-trivial, per user switching using xrandr is fine, s-c-display sets the maximum resolution. Presenting every possible resolution to the user is confusing. Follow bug #122739 for further details. As you don't need this now for things to work I'm going to consider this bug closed if you confirm that 1) is working. I can't really test FC3 test 1, as I don't have an extra PC. I also want to clarify that my PC does revert back to the system settings when exiting GNOME, but the problem occurs when I move my mouse to a menu option in GDM like Reboot or Shutdown. It is at that point it goes screwy. I don't have a problem in setting my system resolution manually in my xorg.conf file, so you may consider this bug closed. I was only offering a suggestion. However, I agree that too many options will make things thing confusing for a user. Thanks.....Paul Menu high-lighting and selections seem to work from my initial testing - I'll attempt to get confirmation before I close. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040803 Firefox/0.9.3 Description of problem: I was using 1024x768 as a system wide setting and 832x624 as my user setting. This was configured under Screen Resolution in the GNOME Control Panel. However, whenever I logged out and tried use a GDM option the screen would go screwy and I would have to restart the X Server. GDM doesn't give me a problem when the system resolution matches the user resolution. To get around this problem, I manually added 832x624 in my xorg.conf file. It would be nice to have it in the GUI tool. I know it's an oddball size, but it would be nice to have if it's not a lot of work. I am using a ViewSonic G70m monitor and a Matrox Millenium G400 video card. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set 1024x768 system wide video reolution in system-config-display 2. Set 832x624 as user screen resolution in GNOME Control Panel 3. Logout to GDM. Move mouse to "Shutdown" or "Reboot" Actual Results: Screen goes screwy Expected Results: Reboot or Shutdown should be highlighted. Additional info:
