From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113 Description of problem: After a fresh install of FC2T3 on my DELL Inspiron 8200 (1600x1200, GeForce 440 2GO) the graphics card was detected correctly. I had to choose the monitor "Dell 1600x1200 Laptop Display Panel" and the the resolution to 1600x1200. Then firstboot came up and I could only choose 640x480 or 800x600 there. In the end X came up in 640x480. After digging a little bit in the xorg.conf file I found out that some important lines were commented out: ### Uncomment if you don't want to default to DDC: # HorizSync 31.5 - 90.0 # VertRefresh 59.0 - 85.0 Reincluding these lines fixed my display problem and now I have a resolution of 1600x1200. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install a fresh FC2T3 2. try to set 1600x1200 on a DELL Inspiron 8200 3. Additional info:

Does this still occur on Fedora Core 3 test1? If so attach the xorg.conf created. What is the output of running as root kudzu -p -b ddc Inability to select monitors in firstboot is bug #114796 and is in progress.
On FC3T1 firstboot comes up and I can only select 800x600 or 640x480. It shows: Unknown monitor mit NVIDIA GeForce 4 (generic). After the boot process I used system-config-display to select the correct monitor model and screen resolution. Everything was fine after restarting gdm. Output of kudzu -p -b ddc: - class: VIDEO bus: DDC detached: 0 driver: unknown desc: "NVidia Corporation NV17 () Board" mem: 65536

Firstboot display screen from system-config-display 1.0.18-2 will now enable monitor selection on firstboot. Closing this bug as duplicate of bug #127887 Testing of new feature welcome - append to bug #127887 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 127887 ***
