From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020830 Description of problem: When I select the "hp L1925" LCD monitor profile in system-config-display (along with ATI Radeon 8500), it only allows resolution settings 640x480 and 800x600, even though the monitor is capable of up to 1280x1024. Selecting the generic "LCD Panel 1280x1024" profile allows the full set of resolutions to be set. (The "hp A4033A" CRT monitor profile works too, but there is a constant background "swooshing" (rolling flickering) on the LCD.) The key seems to be the different ranges for HorizSync and VertRefresh in the different profiles. Note that this issue is in addition to the problem I and many others are having, where selected higher resolutions won't take effect until xorg.conf is edited to un-comment the HorizSync and VertRefresh lines. I too am running this through a KVM switchbox, which breaks DDC probes. Two other strange issues related to system-config-display: - At "firstboot" time, there were two different-looking prompts to select a display resolution. (I wonder if one of them was for X and the other for the framebuffer-based graphical boot-message hider -- it would be nice if there were an obvious way to revert back to the good old raw text boot.) - While trying to work around these problems, I noticed that /etc/X11 contained both an (outdated) XF86Config file, in addition to the xorg.conf file that system-config-display seems to update. It didn't seem to cause any harm when I moved XF86Config out of the way. (Note that this was a clean install, not an upgrade.) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.0.13-3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run system-config-display. 2. Select card "ATI Radeon 8500". 3. Select monitor "hp L1925". 4. Look at allowed resolutions. Actual Results: Only resolutions 640x480 and 800x600 are allowed. Expected Results: Resolutions up to 1280x1024 should be allowed. Additional info:
Sorry, I meant to say the Version-Release was "system-config-display-1.0.13-3" (FC 2 test 3).
Never mind about the gripe about graphical boot -- I found and removed the "rhgb" and "quiet" options in the grub.conf file.
