Description of problem: if you try and set screen resolution from graphical tool "System" -> "Administration" -> "Screen" (I'm translating from Italian version), it fails, setting a large resolution in 16:9 format (see attached pic). Tried with various resolution, emulating several monitor types. You can correct this behaviour just manually editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Default shipped with Fedora Core 6 Test 3. How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. From application bar, go in "System" -> "Administration" -> "Screen" 2. In "Hardware" tab, choose a monitor type, e.g. choose "Generic LCD Display" -> "LCD Panel 1024 x 768". 3. In "Settings" tab, choose a different resolution, e.g. 1024 x 768. 4. Logout and login again. Actual results: Screen is larger than expected and in 16:9 format. If you click again on "System" -> "Administration" -> "Screen", you see resolution is still 800 x 600. Expected results: You should be able and see a 1024 x 768 resolution after logout/login. Additional info: In /etc/X11/xorg.conf, if you comment out HorizSync and VertRefresh lines, and then logout/login, default 800 x 600 resolution is applied. You can get resolution you wish manually editing HorizSync and VertReflesh values.
This is resolved in final release 6.
Marking resolved as per comment #1.
