Description Jiri Koten 2011-09-21 18:46:34 UTC 
Description of problem:
On my ThinkPad T500 native res. of 1680x1050 works when using vesa. But it doesn't work with resolution 1024x768 or less - screen is garbage.

Supported res.:
$ xrandr -q
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
Screen 0: minimum 640 x 480, current 1680 x 1050, maximum 1680 x 1050

Comment 3 Adam Jackson 2011-10-03 18:01:28 UTC 
Moving to 6.3 radar, no further updates to the vesa driver are planned for 6.2 except to correct regressions.  If this scenario worked in 6.1, please move this back to 6.2.
Comment 4 Jiri Koten 2011-10-04 13:31:52 UTC 
Same issue is in 6.1 with xorg-x11-drv-vesa-2.3.0-1.el6, it is not a regression.
Comment 6 RHEL Program Management 2012-07-10 07:01:18 UTC

propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Comment 7 RHEL Program Management 2012-07-11 02:09:20 UTC

Comment 9 RHEL Program Management 2012-08-03 18:46:11 UTC 
Development Management has reviewed and declined this request.
You may appeal this decision by reopening this request.
