Description of problem: in the new xorg packages the X config got moved to /etc/X11/xorg.conf however /etc/X11/XF86config is still being created on install.
i also had to hand edit my xorg.conf file to get anything other than 640x480 to work. i'm using a nvidia tnt2. had to uncomment horizsync and vertrefresh and then comment displaysize in the "monitor" section. i noticed that everytime i change the display settings, this commented section is always placed in the "monitor" section: ### Uncomment if you don't want to default to DDC: # HorizSync 30.0 - 85.0 # VertRefresh 48.0 - 120.0 i also went up to "serverlayout" section and removed what appeared to be random 0's laying about.
According to the latest builds as of May 4: system-config-display-1.0.14-1 ------------------------------ * Fri Apr 30 2004 Brent Fox <bfox> 1.0.14-1 - do not write out extra XF86Config file during firstboot (bug #121729) Of course I haven't tested this, but since this bug got moved to system-config-display, it already been fixed. So I'm closing it saying current release? If I'm wrong someone can reopen it.
