From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64); en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5 Description of problem: My laptop has an ATI Radeon XPRESS 200M 5955 (PCIE), as identified by system-config-display. The version of X as shipped in FC5 (from test1 and above, I believe) has a radeon driver that supports this card, however, system-config-display still uses the failsafe vesa driver for it, which does not support widescreen modes. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): system-config-display-1.0.35-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. system-config-display Actual Results: the xorg.conf file written uses the vesa driver Expected Results: the radeon driver should be used Additional info:
