control-center-2.22.1-4.fc9.x86_64 gnome-settings-daemon-2.22.1-0.2008.03.26.7.fc9.x86_64 Because of bug 445647, I turned my machine into a brick, not being able to switch back to the previous resolution when using gnome-display-properties to switch to a higher resolution. Whilst X shouldn't offer the unavailable resolution in the first place, I gather this sort of problem could be more common than expected, and not having any ways of reverting the resolution from a black screen is a pain. Note that restarting X (with Ctrl+Alt+Backspace) doesn't work either, as the new resolution is already set in GConf, so any new session restarts doesn't work. I had to disable the xrandr gnome-settings-daemon plugin in GConf, select the proper resolution in gnome-display-properties, and then re-enable the plugin.
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This just hit me on F10 as well. Tried rotating screen left. Screen goes out of sync and stays out of sync every time that user logs in. X works fine at gdm.
Bastien, how did you unbrick your machine? I just can't figure out where it stored that rotation.
I figured it out! You can remove/edit the file ~/.config/monitors.xml to get the account working again. Changing it to <rotation>normal</rotation> unbricked the account for me. But gnome-display-properties should _really_ have a 15 second "Wanna keep new settings?" dialog for every untested mode.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '9'. 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 9'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 9 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
> But gnome-display-properties should _really_ have a 15 second "Wanna > keep new settings?" dialog for every untested mode. It actuall has one now. However, selecting « restore previous configuration » doesn't work. I just tried rotating the screen to the left, the dialog popped up. Well, a laptop with a rotated screen is not really useful, so I chose « restore previous configuration ». The screen remained rotated to the left. Rotating back to normal, same dialog, same symptoms: restoring the previous configuration has the same effect as « keep new configuration » This affected me on Fedora 11 with: control-center-2.26.0-8.fc11.x86_64 gnome-settings-daemon-2.26.1-7.fc11.x86_64
I can confirm this is fixed in Fedora 12: control-center-2.28.1-18.fc12.x86_64 gnome-settings-daemon-2.28.2-1.fc12.x86_64
Someone should change this to F12 then. And code a "Wanna keep this setting?" dialog of course.
(In reply to comment #8) > Someone should change this to F12 then. > > And code a "Wanna keep this setting?" dialog of course. There is one since (at least) Fedora 11, like I said in comment 6. And the second issue (this dialog not doing anything in Fedora 11) is fixed in Fedora 12, like I said in comment 12. Not sure why you want to change the affected version. If anything, the assignee might choose to close the bug as « fixed in F12 », or let it open for F11. Unless of course you can still reproduce the issue in Fedora 12, but that's not what you said. :)

Fedora 11 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-06-25. Fedora 11 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.
