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.

I'm experiencing this bug also. See above attachment for details.
This problem persists with XFree86-4.3.0-2.90.55. What other information do you need?
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.
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? # XFree86 4 configuration created by pyxf86config Section "ServerLayout"    Identifier   "Default Layout"    Screen    0  "Screen0" 0 0    InputDevice   "Mouse0" "CorePointer"    InputDevice   "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"    InputDevice   "DevInputMice" "AlwaysCore" EndSection Section "Files" # RgbPath is the location of the RGB database.  Note, this is the name of the # file minus the extension (like ".txt" or ".db").  There is normally # no need to change the default. # Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together) # By default, Red Hat 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of # the X server to render fonts.    RgbPath    "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb"    FontPath   "unix/:7100" EndSection Section "Module"    Load  "dbe"    Load  "extmod"    Load  "fbdevhw"    Load  "glx"    Load  "record"    Load  "freetype"    Load  "type1"    Load  "dri" EndSection Section "InputDevice" # Specify which keyboard LEDs can be user-controlled (eg, with xset(1)) #  Option  "Xleds"   "1 2 3" # To disable the XKEYBOARD extension, uncomment XkbDisable. #  Option  "XkbDisable" # To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the # lines below (which are the defaults).  For example, for a non-U.S. # keyboard, you will probably want to use: #  Option  "XkbModel"  "pc102" # If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use: #  Option  "XkbModel"  "microsoft" # # Then to change the language, change the Layout setting. # For example, a german layout can be obtained with: #  Option  "XkbLayout" "de" # or: #  Option  "XkbLayout" "de" #  Option  "XkbVariant"   "nodeadkeys" # # If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and # control keys, use: #  Option  "XkbOptions"   "ctrl:swapcaps" # Or if you just want both to be control, use: #  Option  "XkbOptions"   "ctrl:nocaps" #    Identifier  "Keyboard0"    Driver    "keyboard"    Option    "XkbRules" "xfree86"    Option    "XkbModel" "pc105"    Option    "XkbLayout" "us" EndSection Section "InputDevice"    Identifier  "Mouse0"    Driver    "mouse"    Option    "Protocol" "PS/2"    Option    "Device" "/dev/psaux"    Option    "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"    Option    "Emulate3Buttons" "yes" EndSection Section "InputDevice" # If the normal CorePointer mouse is not a USB mouse then # this input device can be used in AlwaysCore mode to let you # also use USB mice at the same time.    Identifier  "DevInputMice"    Driver    "mouse"    Option    "Protocol" "IMPS/2"    Option    "Device" "/dev/input/mice"    Option    "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"    Option    "Emulate3Buttons" "no" EndSection Section "Monitor"    Identifier  "Monitor0"    VendorName  "Monitor Vendor"    ModelName   "LL-T19D1-B"    DisplaySize  380   300    HorizSync   24.0 - 81.0    VertRefresh  56.0 - 76.0    Option    "dpms" EndSection Section "Device"    Identifier  "Videocard0"    Driver    "radeon"    VendorName  "Videocard vendor"    BoardName  "ATI Radeon 7000"    VideoRam   32768 EndSection Section "Screen"    Identifier "Screen0"    Device   "Videocard0"    Monitor   "Monitor0"    DefaultDepth   24    SubSection "Display"      Depth   24      Modes   "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"    EndSubSection EndSection Section "DRI"    Group     0    Mode     0666 EndSection
