From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040422 Description of problem: I am running fedora 1.92 (test 3) and have updated all components. I find that I cannot properly configure my display with system-config-display as it gives the wrong information. When I start it up, under the settings tab the wrong resolution is displayed (i.e. a lower resolution to that in my config file at /etc/X11/XF86Config), and the same applies to the video driver under the hardware tab, which specifies the Vesa driver (I am actually using the radeon driver). I have a very similar problem with system-config-security with regard to selinux status, which I will submit separately. I copy a section of /etc/X11/XF86Config below for clarity: Section "Monitor" ### Uncomment if you don't want to default to DDC: # HorizSync 31.5 - 48.5 # VertRefresh 40.0 - 70.0 ### Uncomment if you don't want to default to DDC: # HorizSync 31.5 - 37.9 # VertRefresh 50.0 - 70.0 ### Uncomment if you don't want to default to DDC: HorizSync 31.5 - 37.9 VertRefresh 50.0 - 70.0 Identifier "Laptop LCD Panel" VendorName "Monitor Vendor" ModelName "LCD Panel 1024x768" ### Uncomment if you don't want to default to DDC: # HorizSync 31.5 - 37.9 # VertRefresh 50.0 - 70.0 Option "dpms" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "IGP 340M" Driver "radeon" VendorName "ATI" BoardName "IGP 340M" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "IGP 340M" Monitor "Laptop LCD Panel" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection EndSection many thanks for your attention, and I hope that you will be able to help me with this problem. yours, Matthew East Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): system-config-display-1.0.13-3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Manually edit the config file to the desired settings, restart X. 2. Run system-config-display GUI. 3. Observe that the settings are wrong. Actual Results: The settings in the GUI are not consistent with the settings in the configuration file. Expected Results: They should be! Additional info:
By test 3 you should be using /etc/X11/xorg.conf instead of /etc/X11/XF86Config.. this *may* be confusing things, although the latter seems to still be checked if xorg.conf is not there. The resolution issue is most likely duplicate of #120950, see this comment for how to verify the fix works for you: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=120950#c8
I havce the same problem after a frensh intall of FC2-test3 so it's al xorg instead of XFree86. HP Laptop Omnibook 4150b ATI Rage Mobility video driver Generic LCD 1024x768 Freferences:Screen Resolution shows the correct current mode of 1024x768, 85HZ System Settings:Display shows Resolution 640x480, Millions of colors. 1024x768 is not an option despite the current mode actually being 1024x768.
There was a bug with FC2 test 3 that was causing both XF86Config and xorg.conf to be written out. This is likely the source of the problem. I believe that this was fixed for the FC2 final tree, so please try with it and reopen this bug if the behavior you are seeing still persists.
