Description of problem:On first boot, I found my screen resolution at an all time high of 1920x1232 with refresh of 60Hz. I used System > Preferences > Screen Resolution to set it to a more comfortable 1600x1200 at 75Hz. However, the login screen appears to still be at the original 1920x1232 at 60Hz, despite me checking the box "Make default for this computer...". I see that there is another System > Administration > Display menu item which opens a different dialog offering a Resolution setting. However, this dialog only offers 800x600 and 640x480 and two color depths. If this is meant to set system wide resolution, it is completely broken providing only these two settings. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):system-config-display-1.0.41-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Select System > Preferences > Screen Resolution 2. Set screen resolution 3. Log out, observe login screen Actual results: Login screen is still at maximum rsolution for system Expected results: Login screen resolution has always followed the screen resolution setting in previous releases Additional info: If System > Administration > Display is meant for this purpose, it has only two very low resolutions offered currently.
This should be working better in newer versions of the X server. Can you try xorg-x11-server-Xorg 1.1.1-30 or newer please?
Login screen still is stuck on 1280x1024 85Hz. I cannot select 60Hz 85 is the only selection available. If I set it to 1600x1200 (which my card and monitor are quite capable of) it simply reverts to 1280x1024 on logout/login. I'm running the nv driver and all updates as of 1715EDT 2006-08-28. I'm running xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.1.1-30.fc6
I'm running xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.1.1-30.fc6. My login screen is still running at some resolution higher than 1600 x 1200 which is what I am using on the desktop. I don't know how one tells what the refresh rate is on the login screen, but it flickers, so I suspect it is 60Hz. It does not change as I try to set either Display in Admin or Screen Resolution in Preferences. I can successfully set my desktop resolution and refresh rate to whatever I choose in System > Preferences > Screen Resolution. However, when I use System > Administration > Display, I get the following behavior. If I set the Color Depth to Thousands of Colors, the Resolution is listed as 2048x1536 after restarting X, no matter what I set it to before logging out. If I set the Color Depth to Millions of Colors, the Resolution is listed as 1680 x 1050 no matter what I set it to before logging out. This may be some sort of clue. I have a Radeon RV200 (7500) card and Sony CPD-G410R monitor.
Should be fixed as of rhpxl 0.35-1. Please test, and reopen if this issue still occurs for you.
