Description Jacob Keller 2006-02-20 05:11:34 UTC
Description of problem:
When I configure xorg.conf to 1600x1200, I cannot select that under
gnome-display-properties.

I have been updating regularly, but there seems to be no luck.

Anyone have at least a workaround of this.

Also, I manually edited the preferences in gconf-editor, but to no avail, my
screen resolution is still 1024x768

Comment 1 Rahul Sundaram 2006-02-20 10:37:35 UTC

These bugs are being closed since a large number of updates have been released
after the FC5 test1 and test2 releases. Kindly update your system by running yum
update as root user or try out the third and final test version of FC5 being
released in a short while and verify if the bugs are still present on the system
.Reopen or file new bug reports as appropriate after confirming the presence of
this issue. Thanks

Comment 2 Jacob Keller 2006-02-20 16:19:30 UTC
this was with the latest updates as of today.  (2/20/06)

Sorry if this was confusing, but I still have, and have had the same problem
since I installed, and I update daily.

Comment 3 Mike A. Harris 2006-02-21 11:35:50 UTC
Reassigning to gnome-applets for diagnosis.

Comment 4 Dave Burgess 2006-02-22 22:32:55 UTC
I can verify that this is still a problem with all the updates as of 1700 EST
Wednesday Feb 22nd.

Please do NOT arbitrarily close bug reports without any investigation or
verification.

Comment 5 Stephen Hemminger 2006-02-27 23:08:43 UTC
I see this as well on FC5  with current updates.

1600x1200 shows up in System->Administration->Display
but not in System -> Preferences -> Screen Resolution
maximum resolution in preferences is 1024x768.

I tried removing .gconf directory and contents to see if there was some left over
settings, but no change.



Comment 6 Matthias Clasen 2006-08-04 02:07:55 UTC
not a gnome-applets issue

Comment 7 Red Hat Bugzilla 2007-02-05 18:54:10 UTC
REOPENED status has been deprecated. ASSIGNED with keyword of Reopened is preferred.

The "Screen Resolution" setting uses xranrd. Please check the output of "xrandr
-q". If there are more resolutions (including 1600x1200), then we have a bug in
the this prefs, otherwise, we have an X bug.

Attempt to set up dual head Fedora8 system, main LCD (Dell Latitude D600
display) set at 1400×1050 and trying to set 1600×1200 to VGA-connected secondary
display (Eizo F930) -- end result is not a dual head but same display on both
screens, and secondary display at 1280×1024 resolution, ie. it clips the picture
seen on the main LCD display!

Comment 11 Bastien Nocera 2008-03-26 11:24:50 UTC
Otto, your problem is a system-config-display problem, which you shouldn't even
need to use in Fedora 9. Please file a separate bug for that.

Still waiting on feedback from Jacob.
