Description of problem:
ATI Radeon 7000 on athlon

After updating XFree to 4.3.0-2.90.43 

1) the screen goes 640x480. I mean: desktop is still 1024x768 or
whatever, but I can see only 640x480 -- nice that going with the mouse
cursor beyond edges pans the visible portion of the desktop.
redhat-config-xfree86 cannot solve

2) redhat-config-xfree86 is unable to probe monitor and/or read any
monitor information (monitor is a NEC v72)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
XFree-4.3.0-2.90.43

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. update XFree to 4.3.0-2.90.43
2.
3.
    

Actual Results:  can see only 640x480 at a time

cannot probe monitor/read monitor info

Expected Results:  whole desktop visible

Additional info:

reverting to XFree86-4.3.0-2 solves the issue

I'm experiencing this bug also. See above attachment for details.

Comment 3 Thomas J. Baker 2004-03-08 20:00:04 UTC
This problem persists with XFree86-4.3.0-2.90.55. What other
information do you need?

Comment 4 Trevor Cordes 2004-03-28 06:59:54 UTC
A system I'm setting up also has this problem (glad to find I'm not
the only one!).  We're using a brand new Sapphire Radeon 7000 LITE DDR
32MB card.  We've tried everything to get above 640 but no go.  The
log says all modes except 640x480 are unknown.


Comment 5 Ali Kwan 2004-04-21 21:29:54 UTC
In Fedora core 2 test2 (in fact any install since red hat 9 XFree 4.3.0-2) can only get 640 x 
480 resolution to fit on 19 inch Sharp LCD LL-T19D1-B. All other resolutions become 
larger than the screen and moving the mouse to the edges of the screen will make it scroll 
to the offscreen areas. I've checked my X config and all the proper options are there and 
I've tried them all. Also CTRL + ALT +/- does nothing. Could someone please fix this 
before Fedora Core 2 Final is released. I would really like to upgrade but not lke this. (P.S. 
both my video card and monitor are probed properly during install). Below is a copy of 
XF86Config that works in Red Hat 9 XFree 4.3.0-2 ONLY anything higher has the same 
result, even though the config is identical---Any other solutions in the meantime?
