You can still do xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1280x800 to get it into native mode right? The bug is that we detect a non-existent TV out and X picks the highest mode that both outputs (the TV and your LVDS (laptop panel)) can handle. If you un-mirror screens (there's a checkbox in the dialog to do that), you should be able to select the LVDS and increase the resolution for that to 1280x800. I issued xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1280x800 and un-mirrored screens. Now resolution is correct but system cannot be used as bars with menus are on the far right of the screen and cannot be repositioned, so I cannot see menus and operate on them.How do I recover from it?? I cannot see a terminal window. I think that I have to switch to text mode, and then?? I am seeing this behaviors since KMS is enabled in rawhide. This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle. Changing version to '11'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Since this bugzilla report was filed, there have been several major updates in various components of the Xorg system, which may have resolved this issue. Users who have experienced this problem are encouraged to upgrade their system to the latest version of their packages. For packages from updates-testing repository you can use command yum upgrade --enablerepo='*-updates-testing' Alternatively, you can also try to test whether this bug is reproducible with the upcoming Fedora 12 distribution by downloading LiveMedia of F12 Beta available at http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/ . By using that you get all the latest packages without need to install anything on your computer. For more information on using LiveMedia take a look at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraLiveCD . Please, if you experience this problem on the up-to-date system, let us now in the comment for this bug, or whether the upgraded system works for you. If you won't be able to reply in one month, I will have to close this bug as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Thank you. [This is a bulk message for all open Fedora Rawhide Xorg-related bugs. I'm adding myself to the CC list for each bug, so I'll see any comments you make after this and do my best to make sure every issue gets proper attention.] now I have the correct info in F12.
