Thanks for the bug report. We have reviewed the information you have provided above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful in our diagnosis of this issue. Please attach your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) and X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link below. Could you please also try to run without any /etc/X11/xorg.conf whatsoever and let X11 autodetect your display and video card? Attach to this bug /var/log/Xorg.0.log from this attempt as well, please. We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information. Thanks in advance. I'm sorry. I backed out of F9 when my machine was not usable in 800x600 mode. I checked on the FedoraForums and apparently xorg in F9 is beta and has lost some functionality with the NV. Here is one thread: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=188847&page=1&pp=15 Here is a thread recommending to down level xorg in F9!!! http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showpost.php?p=894829&postcount=2 You can close this report if you like. I don't plan on moving to F9 on this system. I'm finished trying to work around nVidia crap. My next machine will be Intel with Intel chipset (including video). Just as the last hope for the Fedora 9, can I ask you two experiments: 1) What happens when you select "vesa" driver? 2) What happens when you rename /etc/X11/xorg.conf into something else, and then restart Xorg without a one? Does any of these two experiments make you computer working in reasonable resolution? Again, I reinstalled (full install) F8 and won't be going back to F9 any time soon. I've given up on this system (nVidia) ever going to F9. I won't be able to run these experiments. I only have the one computer and need it operational. Sorry. I'm sure someone else will find this thread and comment. Since there are insufficient details provided in this report for us to investigate the issue further, and we have not received feedback to the information we have requested above, we will assume the problem was not reproducible, or has been fixed in one of the updates we have released for the reporter's distribution. Users who have experienced this problem are encouraged to upgrade to the latest update of their distribution, and if this issue turns out to still be reproducible in the latest update, please reopen this bug with additional information. Closing as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. |
