Description of problem: The 'nv' driver isn't able to detect/configure the display on this laptop. The server logs indicate that the panel size is detected incorrectly, and the resulting display has an unacceptable flicker. If I try to configure the panel size manually via 'Display', 'Screen', 'Virtual', etc. I end up with a different effect -- a shrunken display centered in the middle of the screen, accompanied by the same flicker. Note that while the log file indicates a panel size of 1400x1100, the actual display size is smaller (1024x768 I believe). I don't think this system ever worked correctly with Xorg; in F8 and prior I was able to use the nvidia vendor driver. nVidia has since discontinued support for this chipset w.r.t. recent kernels. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.4.99.905-1.20080701.fc9.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-nv-2.1.10-1.fc9.x86_64 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
