Description of problem: First reboot after install, the mode set on my video card is a lot too wide and high: I have set the CRT monitor size adjuctment to 0 % and it still does not fit (can't see the left part and the right part at the same time). The EDID is recognised by the kernel. When I acheived to connect to X, I tried to set the video mode to 1600x1200 (as it was on Fedora 8) and I had a black screen - ON/OFF reboot needed, no reply to pings.

This was simply due to the fact that I have a real CRT screen (4/3 and not 16/9) and the default selected mode was 1600x1024. The monitor does not really support such a definition, and obviously works "over its specifications". Going back to 1600x1200 solved the problem. Note that something locked hard the PC when I tried to go from 1600x1200@60 Hz to 1600x1200@70 Hz with the provided mode-setting config interface, but that is probably a completely different problem.
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 It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.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.
