Description of problem: I have a Great Quality ZX-5362(Fry's Electronics)laptop with AMD Sempron 3000+ and VIA S3 Unichrome Pro VGA Adapter. During Fedora 8 clean install in graphic mode the mouse/cursor was inoperative. I used tab-arrow keys-enter to make my selections, ie partition configurations, etc. After reboot-Finish, Fedora 8 would not boot into XWindow. I edited /etc/inittab to change to runlevel 3 and /etc/X11/xorg.conf videocard0 device 'via" to 'vesa". After boot into XWindow display resolution was at 800x600. Selecting System-Admin-Display-Settings-Resolution showed 800x600 with 640x480 as other selection available. Selecting Hardware-Video Card showed vesa-generic vesa. Monitor type showed (autoconfigured). I selected "configure"-generic lcd display-1024x768. XWindow restarted with 1024x768 resolution but there was no lower taskbar and rh edge. Selected System-Admin-Display and logged in. The display settings gui did not appear. Restored 800x600 resolution by cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak /etc/X11/xorg.conf. I had the same problem with Fedora 7 clean install in June '07. My Linux guru taught me the changes to boot into Xwindows. After F7 install, yum updated xorg-x11-drv-vesa and I was able to adjust resolution. I have reinstalled Fedora 7 and had no problems during install. Also no problems adjusting resolution after editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf device videocard0 from 'via' to 'vesa'. I did find a bug fix for Red Hat Enterprise at: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2007-0581.html Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora8: xorg-x11-drv-vesa-1.3.0-10 Fedora7: xorg-x11-drv-vesa-1.3.0-8 How reproducible: Clean install Fedora 8 Steps to Reproduce: 1.Clean install Fedora8 2.Edit /etc/inittab to runlevel 3, /etc/X11/xorg.conf device videocard0 "via" to "vesa" 3.startx Actual results: Display resolution at 800x600 Expected results: Able to adjust resolution to 1024x768 Additional info:
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?

Martej Cepl, I am currently in the process of preparing the laptop to give to my brother and reinstalled XP. I did find a solution to my problem. I have included before and after displays of /etc/X11/xorg.conf. I edited xorg.conf=>Section "Screen" => Subsection "Display". I added the the line => Modes "1024x768" "800x600" The Section "Monitor" after rebooting after editing. I tried this after reinstalling Fedora 7; I copied /etc/X11/xorg.conf and edited Fedora 8 /etc/X11/xorg.conf with Fedora 7 parameters. Sorry for not providing the log requested and not creating attachments.

Martej Cepl, The line: "The Section "Monitor" after rebooting after editing." should read: The Section "Monitor" appeared after reboot after editing. Sorry, Al takishita
OK, thank you for letting us know. I am sorry, but I have to close this bug as INSSUFFICIENT_DATA.
