Moving to FC5Target, as FC4 is 'done', barring release blockers that pop up. please attach your Xorg.0.log. Somebody moved this bug incorrectly. It is NOT a bug in system-config-display. It is a bug in the kickstart scripting language, and consequently in the system-config-kickstart utility. It is also a problem in firstboot. Note that firstboot does not depend in any way on the X11 config. The problem is simply that no option to select 1280x800 (WXGA) resolution is provided in either tool. Since this is is now a nearly universal resolution on newer laptops, it seems like a good idea to add it. The fix is to add this option to the kickstart file choices and the system-config-kickstart utility, and (if needed) to firstboot as well. Please reopen this bug and reassign it to the kickstart team. +# 1280x800 @ 60.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 49.68 kHz; pclk: 83.46 MHz +Modeline "1280x800" 83.46 1280 1344 1480 1680 800 801 804 828 -HSync +Vsync The following modes are present in the rawhide X server: +# 1280x800 @ 70.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 58.31 kHz; pclk: 98.89 MHz +Modeline "1280x800" 98.89 1280 1352 1488 1696 800 801 804 833 -HSync +Vsync + +# 1280x800 @ 75.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 62.62 kHz; pclk: 107.21 MHz +Modeline "1280x800" 107.21 1280 1360 1496 1712 800 801 804 835 -HSync +Vsync + +# 1280x800 @ 85.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 71.40 kHz; pclk: 123.38 MHz +Modeline "1280x800" 123.38 1280 1368 1504 1728 800 801 804 840 -HSync +Vsync (In reply to comment #3) > Somebody moved this bug incorrectly.

It isn't completely clear to me at least, what exactly it is you are reporting/requesting here. I have confirmed that the X server contains the requested video modes, so they should be visible in system-config-display as available modes as well, since it shares the extramodes file with the X server. Closing bug as being fixed in RAWHIDE, however if you believe that what you are trying to request is not already present, then please reopen the bug, reassign it to the component that you believe is lacking the feature you are asking for, and try to explain exactly what you are wanting more clearly. Thanks in advance. >system-config-display is what configures the X server. I don't see how

Then you didn't read the original bug report carefully enough. This was NEVER a
bug with system-config-display. This is a bug in the initial display
configuration that is accomplished using system-config-kickstart, and also in
the firstboot stuff.
Try this: run system-config-kickstart. Do what you need to do to get to the
place where it wants to configure the initial X resolution. Try to set it to
1280x800. You can't. There is no such choice on the menu. You also cannot do it
by hand, because the kickstart file's "xconfig --resolution" option will not
accept 1280x800 as a legal input.
So, once again: please reassign this to anaconda or system-config-kickstart
(which is where I had it originally), and please actually *read* the bug report
and the subsequent discussion before you jump to conclusions.
Andy: something very very weird is going on here. This bug was originally filed against FC5 and system-config-kickstart (both of which states I have just restored). Somehow it got incorrectly moved to system-config-display (which is wrong) and associated with FC4test3 (which is wrong). I can see how this led to confusion. The reason I'm bringing it to your attention is that I'm wondering how the bug got misfiled. I'm pretty sure that I didn't file it that badly. Hmm. Also, I apologize for the "didn't read carefully enough" comment. Given that the original bug was misfiled, you definitely didn't have enough context to decipher what the heck I was talking about. Sorry -- not enough sleep and I should know better. Added to the resolution list in system-config-kickstart. The firstboot display module is currently disabled because we're using X autoconfiguration now, so that's no longer an issue. |
