Description of problem: Monitor = IBM C2237 C71 17" Color Monitor Video Card = ATI Radeon 7000 MSI Motherboard Pentium 4 2.0GHz processor When 1024 X 768 is selected it is so big that it doesn't fit the screen. It's out of bound. From the start when the installation enters the graphical mode, this problem is there. And when the installation is completed, the viewable area is too big to fit into my 17" monitor. The only way I can fit the screen is to select 640X480 resolution. The monitor type and the card type is picked up correctly by the install. Have tried running XFree86 several times with several different monitor types, the problem still exists. Have tried manually editing the XFConfig file, no help. As soon as the boot enters the graphical mode, this problem pops up. The monitor and video card work perfectly on XP, 2000, Redhat 8, and Mandrake 9.0, 9.2 installations. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 0.95 Test 3 Release. How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
This sounds like the config tool is not detecting the monitor properly and/or isn't setting the proper H/V rates, and the server is getting misconfigured, however the driver will start up with the configured resolution set as the maximum virtual size, with the physical resolution set to a smaller size which is compatible with the monitor. Please attach your X server config file and log file from the non-working configuration.
Hi Mike: Here are the monitor, video card and screen sections of the XF86Config file from /etc/X11/ I am not sure about the log file. Can you point me to where this log file might be? *********************** Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "Monitor Vendor" ModelName "IBM 2237 C71" HorizSync 30.0 - 69.0 VertRefresh 50.0 - 120.0 Option "dpms" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard0" Driver "radeon" VendorName "Videocard vendor" BoardName "ATI Radeon 7000" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Videocard0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection EndSection
I have this same problem, but it is will known that my Compaq evo n600c Laptop docking station is the root cause. If I unplug my KDS VS195 from the dock, boot-up, and then plug in the Monitor, all is ok for the 1024x768 setting. (For RedHat.v.9.x and earlier, I could boot up with the Laptop lid open, then close the lid, and the X-server would configure the VS195 correctly.) jerry.laney
I have the same problem with an ATI Radeon 7000 and a Mag Innovision LT865b. If I keep changing the monitor and video card types the system will work correctly until the power is turned off. When it comes back up, the problem is back.
I think it's the new version of XFree86. I downloaded the new updates of XFree86 on my RH9 install and the same problem appeared. However, in dealing with this, I found that when the system booted, and RH or Fedora started X, I have to swtich off my monitor and hit Ctrl+Alt+Backspace. I wait a couple of seconds, and then switch the monitor back on and everything is fine, until I log out again. Then I have to switch the monitor off and then do the same thing again. It's annoying, but at least it works now! I even installed XFree86 from sources, but the problem persisted even after that.
I have the same problem here with a Dell PC, running on an Intel 865 video card with a Sun Microsystems GH18PS LCD monitor. No matter what I put in as the display settings, the screen resolution remains locked at 640x480. Any idea when a solution will be available, or should I go back to an earlier version of Red Hat?
I found the same problem with my ATI 7500 and Sony CPD 200ES. The system-config-display have add a comment in the file config (xorg.conf) : ### Uncomment if you don't want to default to DDC: ### Uncomment if you don't want to default to DDC: # HorizSync 30.0 - 70.0 # VertRefresh 50.0 - 120.0 Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "Monitor Vendor" ModelName "Sony CPD-200ES" DisplaySize 330 240 ### Uncomment if you don't want to default to DDC: # HorizSync 30.0 - 70.0 # VertRefresh 50.0 - 120.0 Option "dpms" EndSection I have removed the commenet here: HorizSync 30.0 - 70.0 VertRefresh 50.0 - 120.0 in the xorg.conf file and restarted the server. The resolution restart at 1024/768 and now i can change res and frequency.
Hi. I just installed fedora core 2 test 3 and had a problem similar to this one. My hardware is: radeon 9000 pro video chipset and NCD NC1982AA monitor. Whenever the X Server started, the log file would show it rejecting all resolutions above 640x480 because "HSync out of range". I fixed it by manually adjusting the refresh rates in the /etx/X11/Xorg.conf file. I could not resolve the problem using the supplied GUIs. Hope this helps --Alex
I'm experiencing the same kind of problem: Chipset: Intel 810 (Intel 82810E) (un an old Dell GX110) and Sony E400 monitor. In the display configuration tool ("system settings" | "display") it shows the correct hardware, and if I say "OK" to either the monitor or card it even shows me optional resolution and color depth values. But the new settings have no effect and revert to the 640x480. Restarting X doesn't help either. The machine worked fine under Fedora 1. (Fedora 2 was a full install, not an upgrade.)
yup Ive got the same problem on a Gforce 4ti se 4800 on a eizo f56 I cant resize to resolutions above 640x480. manually editing the /etc/X11/XF86config.conf file didnt help editing the Xorg.conf didnt help eighter editing the Vsync and Hsync I havent tryed yet it was a full install and the latest Nvidia drivers were used < no source but .run > is there currently a workaround available ?

I started this bug report and have the same issue since FC1. The problem still exists in FC2. My workaround is as follows: Once you get the log on screen, turn the monitor off. Then do Control+Alt+Backspace. Wait for a few seconds (5 seconds) Then turn the monitor on. The resolution will fit the screen perfectly. I hope this helps. Omar.
