Description of problem: upgrade/install of xfree versions after initial rh9 release on ATI Radeon VE 7000 with NEC MultiSync V720 monitor produce a stuffed X11 configuration. a 640 x 400 viewport to a 800 x 600 virtual screen regardless of of what configurations I use Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): versions after 4.3.0-2 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1.install Fedora Core 1 or 2.update Redhat 9 3. Actual results: fucked screen resolution Expected results: unusable X windows Additional info: your policy of stripping configuation tools from packages and replacing them with useless redhat-config- scripts preventsa work-around
I've had the same problems with everything since Red Hat 9 (after updating XFree) I have a Radeon 7000 and A Sharp 19" LCD. Nothing has been solved that I Know About. (See bug 111476).
I got sick of waiting for a fix and bought a nVidia Gforce 4 MX 440
