Thanks for the bug report. We have reviewed the information you have provided above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful in our diagnosis of this issue. Please attach your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) and X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link below. Could you please also try to run without any /etc/X11/xorg.conf whatsoever and let X11 autodetect your display and video card? Attach to this bug /var/log/Xorg.0.log from this attempt as well, please. We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information. Thanks in advance.
Created attachment 156651 [details] X server output, starting with no /etc/xorg.conf (** IGNORE THIS--SEE NEXT ATTACHMENT **) First line is the command I used to start X
Created attachment 156653 [details] X server output, starting with no /etc/xorg.conf Sorry, the first attachment picked up xorg.conf from the current dir, but I don't see how to delete it. This one is really no config Command to start X: # xinit -- :1 >x.log.noconf 2>&1
Thanks for having a look at this issue. I've attached an X server log run with no config file, do you still want the other logs? I'm getting really confused between the process of creating xorg.conf and the actual hardware detection in the X server. If I run system-config-display with no existing xorg.conf, make no manual selections and let it write an xorg.conf, then the correct monitor appears in the output file. However, starting X with that config does not give either the hardware-optimal set of modes, or the set of modes I want. Only by running system-config-display and selecting a monitor (to get access to resolutions > 800x600), then selecting 1280x1024 (the hardware-optimal resolution) and exiting, can I get an xorg.conf that I can edit to remove the (many!) modes I don't want. So I don't know at this point which problem to pursue here. Suggestions?
These are just stdout from the X server, not the log file. Please attach /var/log/Xorg.0.log instead.
Created attachment 160347 [details] Xorg server log I don't seem to have a full set of server logs from that long back; maybe any one will do. This one matches at least one of the manual starts I used to generate the working setup.
There is a lot of value even in the later log files -- at least we get an idea what Xorg thinks is your configuration and we get a lot of technical details about your configuration.
the xorg log you provided shows a monitor being detected? is there a second monitor not showing up? Is the problem a) the screen is showing up too small or b) the name is wrong in the applet?
This message is a reminder that Fedora 7 is nearing the end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 7. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '7'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 7's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 7 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. If possible, it is recommended that you try the newest available Fedora distribution to see if your bug still exists. Please read the Release Notes for the newest Fedora distribution to make sure it will meet your needs: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/ The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 7 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on June 13, 2008. Fedora 7 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
