i845G system on '19"' Dell P991 CRT display with dysfunctional DDC. I installed F9 a few days after release announcement, and just Yum updated this AM. I run system-config-display and choose either generic 1600x1200 display or the Dell P991 display with 24bit 1600x1200 mode. system-config-display fails to include any DisplaySize line. KDE via startx starts in 1600x1200, but before desktop completes initialization, screen blanks, then repaints the current 1600x1200 view into the upper left corner, then repaints everything into 2048x1536 mode. When I go to log out without first switching from 2048x1536 to 1600x1200, the logout confirmation window opens centered in the 1600x1200 area in the upper left corner instead of the usual center of entire screen. A check of krandrtray shows nothing selected, with 2048x1536 at top of list. I can choose 1600x1200, which it will switch to, but the DPI is wrong. Before using krandrtray to switch from 2048x1536, DPI is a mere 96. After the switch to 1600x1200, Kinfocenter reports 75 DPI, a tiny fraction of what it should be. I can improve the DPI by setting a DisplaySize in xorg.conf, but am unable to find a way to keep in 1600x1200 mode. I never tried previous Fedora releases on this system, but it totally behaves as expected if I run the KDE's under Mandriva 2008.1, Mandriva Cooker and OpenSUSE Factory and 10.3. In all of them, NoDDC, PreferredMode and DisplaySize all produce expected results.

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 It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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.
