From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040207 Firefox/0.8 Description of problem: Using fc3test3 DVD installer I noticed that the installation screens were tiny, stuck in the top left hand corner of the screen and that the resolution was high but only that little area was usable. I assumed that this may be an installation only problem so ignored and continued with the installation. After installation I discovered that X11 appears to be stuck to the highest resolution my monitor (Hansol 710P) can handle (1600x1200). I believe the graphics card (ATI Radeon 7200) can go higher so it appears to be the monitor that fixes the resolution. When I alter the X11 config file to change resolution or use the Ctrl-Alt-Num+/- to switch resolutions, is all that happens is that the usable area of the screen is altered to match the new "resolution" and this area appears at the top left of the screen with the unused space black. For example, 640x480 gives a 640x480 box in the top left of a 1600x1200 screen, 1024x768 gives similar effect but with usable area enlarged to 1024x768 leaving less black unusable area at the bottom and right of the screen. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1.Use DVD installer on 3.06Ghz PC with Radeon 7200 graphics card and Hansol 710P monitor. 2.Start installation Actual Results: Installation screen appears in top left of real screen with very small text and icons. Expected Results: Installation screen should fill real screen. Additional info:
