I have the same bug with my ATI X800 XL card when i use radeon driver. I use FC5 with x86_64 architecture. I can confirm that issue. I have an AMD x2 3800+, 2048MB RAM, ATI X800GTO (PCI-E) and a DELL 2405FWP. I am able to install FC5 in text mode but after starting X only the 640x480 resolution is possible and if I start under settings the "Display" the whole system freeze... @Walery Can you change the priority into "high"? I think this is a not a small issue, I can't work with that crappy resolution. I have a radeon 9100 and am seeing the same problem. I can take the xorg.conf that is working just fine in my CentOS 4.3 partition and move it to /etc/X11/ and I still get 640x480 only. Created attachment 128404 [details]

I have also seen this problem when attempting to install FC 5. Only the top left corner (up to the bubbles) of the installation screen was visible. I had to switch to text mode install.

It's been 3 months and plenty of people have submitted diagnostic info. And those who have taken the time to report the bug and provide diagnostic info have heard *zilch*. The bug has not even been assigned to an actual person. This tell's me about as much about Fedora Core as I need to know.

I have migrated to Ubuntu 6.06 and with this [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI] instruction and an additional [dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg] I could run my x1800XT without any problem. Fedora seems to me like a big half-baked alpha testing project which don't have any ambition to solve such problem because you should buy later redhat... Does this problem still occur with X fully updated to rawhide, including the server and ati driver? This problem still occurs after a software update. F.Y.I: The same problem exists in SUSE 10.1 This is, in fact, an upstream Radeon bug. It's detecting more devices attached than there really are, and since clone mode is the default and it can't get DDC info from the (unconnected) second display, it forces you to a range of resolutions that are likely to be safe, which means 640x480. Switching distros is unlikely to be an effective long-term solution, since they'll just have this same problem when they upgrade to a sufficiently recent radeon driver. I'm working on it though. This should be fixed as of xorg-x11-drv-ati 6.6.2-2. Please test, and reopen if this is still an issue for you. |
