Description of problem: When ever I change the "resolution" in system_config_display application it will bring havoc to /etc/X11/xorg.conf file: a) if the selected resolution is less than maximum resolution listed in Modes line then all larger resolutions will get removed from the Modes line; b) if the selected resolution is larger than listed in Modes line then the Modes line will be removed from the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. Monitor changing within system_config_display will not manifest itself in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file - nothing will get saved. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): system-config-display-1.0.51-4.fc8 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install FC8; 2. Try to change monitor settings & screen resolution; Actual results: 1. Selected resolution 1152x864: Modes "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" "640x400" 2. Selected resolution 1024x768: Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" "640x400" 3. Selected resolution 1152x864: Modes line is missing. 4. /etc/X11/xorg.conf has: Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" ModelName "ViewSonic P95f+" HorizSync 30.0 - 200.0 VertRefresh 50.0 - 160.0 Option "dpms" EndSection Select Hardware->Monitor->Generic LCD Display->LCD Panel 1024x768 After the system_config_display supposedly saves the xorg.conf file it will still list: Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" ModelName "ViewSonic P95f+" HorizSync 30.0 - 200.0 VertRefresh 50.0 - 160.0 Option "dpms" EndSection Expected results: If 1. & 2. are correct then 3. should be: Modes "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" "640x400" 4. What ever it should be, it can not be Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" ModelName "ViewSonic P95f+" HorizSync 30.0 - 200.0 VertRefresh 50.0 - 160.0 Option "dpms" EndSection Additional info: I've tested this issue on 3 different systems and everywhere it is acting this way.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '8'. 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 8'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 8 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 to the applicable version. 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. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 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.
