From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.3; Linux) (KHTML, like Gecko) Description of problem: In Gnome when I try to change the video card (from: "VESA driver (generic)" to: "SD Trio3D/2X") using the 'Display Settings' (Hardware tab) I get notified that the display settings have been updated (/etc/X11/xorg.conf). But when I look at the file (cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf |more) the settings haven't been modified. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. In Gnome from the 'Applications' menu select 'System Settings > Display'. 2. Select the 'Hardware' tab and under 'Video Card' click the [Configure...] button. 3. Selected 'S3 Trio3D/2x' from the list and clicked the [OK] button. 4. Click the [OK] button to close the 'Display Settings' window. 5. Click the [OK] button on the 'Display settings changed' notification window. 6. Restart. 7. Open terminal and look at /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. Actual Results: After selecting the S3 Trio3D/2X and clicking [OK] the text following the 'Video Card' label did not update. If I click [Configure...] button again the S3 card is still selected. After closing the 'Display Settings' window and looking at the xorg.conf file the device section (eg. Section "Device") hasn't been updated. Expected Results: 1. The 'Video Card' label should have been updated after selecting different card. 2. The xorg.conf file should have been updated as the notification window stated. Additional info: I've tried logging in as root, as well as an ordinary account, but the xorg.conf file doesn't update under either.
Hi Scott, I'm going to reassign this bug to system-config-display.
Dear sandmann Whilst this bug is being investigated what values ("Driver", "VendorName", and "BoardName") can I put in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to change it to my S3 Trio3D/2X video card? Thanks in advance. Kind regards, Scott Rippon.
