Description of problem: Installing control-center-2.19.4-3.fc8, the screen resolution appears to be set/fixed at 800x600 (instead of 1280x1024). Reverting to control-center-2.19.4-1.fc8 fixes this. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): control-center-2.19.4-3.fc8 How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
This continues to give me a 'big screen' with control-center-2.19.4-4.fc8.i386. Reverting to control-center-2.19.4-1.fc8.i386 'fixes for me'.
I continue to get an 800x600 screen with control-center-2.19.4-5.fc8. Reverting to control-center-2.19.4-1.fc8 fixes.....
control-center-2.19.4-7.fc8.i386 does this too. I don't understand what is happening here: each time I update control-center beyond 2.19.4-1.fc8 it messes up the resolution of my screen: it looks as if things are displayed at about 800x600, but xrandr reports it as 1280x1024. This is happening on my Thinkpad X60 running both the 'i810' and 'intel' drivers. Here is output of 'diff Xorg.0.log Xorg.0.log.old' (Xorg.0.log running 2.19.4-1, Xorg.0.log.old running 2.19.4-7): [root@localhost log]# diff Xorg.0.log Xorg.0.log.old | more 15c15 < (==) Log file: "/var/log/Xorg.0.log", Time: Sat Jul 7 09:05:08 2007 --- > (==) Log file: "/var/log/Xorg.0.log", Time: Sat Jul 7 09:03:05 2007 938c938 < (II) intel(0): [drm] mapped SAREA 0xf8fa8000 to 0xb7fa3000 --- > (II) intel(0): [drm] mapped SAREA 0xf8fa8000 to 0xb7f78000 1910c1910,1919 < (II) 3rd Button detected: disabling emulate3Button --- > (II) intel(0): [drm] removed 1 reserved context for kernel > (II) intel(0): [drm] unmapping 8192 bytes of SAREA 0xf8fa8000 at 0xb7f78000 > (EE) intel(0): I830 Vblank Pipe Setup Failed 0 > (EE) intel(0): I830 Vblank Pipe Setup Failed 0 > (EE) intel(0): I830 Vblank Pipe Setup Failed 0 > (II) intel(0): xf86UnbindGARTMemory: unbind key 0 > (II) intel(0): xf86UnbindGARTMemory: unbind key 1 > (II) intel(0): xf86UnbindGARTMemory: unbind key 2 > (II) intel(0): xf86UnbindGARTMemory: unbind key 3 > (II) intel(0): xf86UnbindGARTMemory: unbind key 4 [root@localhost log]# Is there some other information or probing that I can do?
control-center-2.19.5-3.fc8 continues to miss function for me. Reverting to control-center-2.19.4-1.fc8 'fixes' this for me. I'm at a loss as to what additional info I can provide.... With the 'newer' control-center, the display has everything rendered 'very big'; one 24x80 terminal window barely fits on my 19 inch monitor. System->Preferences->Hardware->Screen Resolution appears to think the resolution is 1280x1024, but it is definitely not!

OK... I think I've figured this out. Seems that the 'font rendering resolution' was set at 136 DPI. That is, System->Preferences->Look and Feel->Appearance, Font tab, Details showed Resolution at 136 DPI. No idea how that got set. Setting this to 96 DPI, logging out and logging back in 'fixes' this. (Running control-center-2.19.5-4.fc8). I'm guessing something changed with control-center so that it actually 'used' this value. [Having a setting of 136 DPI appeared to have 'no effect' with older versions of control-center.] Sorry for the noise. Close?
At one point settings-daemon was broken in rawhide where the dpi settings would have had no effect. You may have changed it then. Thanks for figuring this one out.
