From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225 Description of problem: I have tried several ways to change the resolution on my monitor (Dell 1701fp) to 1280 x 1024... The monitor was probed correcty during installation. Attempt 1- Going to display and changing the resolution through the GUI interface to 1280 x 1024... Then log out to save configuration, and then when trying to re-log back in the monitor fades black and displays "Cannot display this resolution"... The default settings to this monitor are 1280 x 1204 @ 60mhz. I ran Windows XP with the same monitor for 2 years, at that resolution so I know the monitor can be at the resolution. Attempt 2- Manually changing the configuration file /etc/X11/XF86Config to 1280 x 1024... logged out and same exact process. I am currently running a ATI Raedon 9200 se, however config x will not allow it run, and it is probed Vesa (Generic) I dont know if that would have something to do with it or not. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Changing Display Properties 2.Editting code from /etc/X11/XF86Config 3.Perhaps Video Card probing Additional info:
Since last year Radeon 9200 SE has been known to be highly problematic. I don't know if this has changed with newer xorg-x11, or if this is the cause of your specific problem. (It may not be the monitor.)
Sorry, I left out. I cannot change the resolution back through the Dell Monitor so I have to have a another monitor near by to change it back (Another Dell 820 I think) And That monitor can display all modes, that I am able to select.
Oh, then disregard what I said in comment #1.
