From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0) Description of problem: During installation the screen is on the alf side of the dispay. Configuring the resolution at the end is possible set only 640x480 and not 1024x768.With fc2 t2 and t1 oll is OK. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.install with cd 2. 3. Additional info:
On install FC asks for display size preference back to back. After install, I checked both XF86Config and xorg.conf. It appears that XF86Config was getting the first video setting pref. and the second one was setting xorg.conf. After install: The Display settings GUI allows you to modify xorg.conf as expected and does make the modifications. The Screen Resolution Pref. tool only gives you the 640x480 option. May or may not be of help I am using a Dell P991 monitor.
Please only use xorg.conf, as XF86Config is for XFree86, and Xorg uses it only as a fallback. Having both files can cause a lot of confusion, both for the X server, the user, and the developer. Just delete XF86Config and rerun "system-config-display --reconfig" if you're unsure what to do. Once you can confirm the problem persists on a fresh configuration, using xorg.conf, edit the xorg.conf file and in the monitor section you may see some lines commented out along with a comment explaining to uncomment them. Uncomment these lines if present, and save the config, then restart the X server and see if the problem goes away. Does this fix the problem? If so, this may be related to bug #120950 perhaps. Thanks in advance.
Deleting XF86Config did not solve the problem. Uncomment the HorizSync and VertRefresh fixed the problem, so it looks liek it may be related to #120950
