Created attachment 319213 [details] F10-Beta Xorg.0.log w/o xorg.conf Description of problem: When booting from the F10-Beta live CD, X is set up to use a resolution of 1865x1392 pixels at 60 Hz which appears somewhat peculiar for this classic 21" CRT which supports up to 1600x1200 at 75 Hz whereas the optimum mode is 1400x1050 at 85 Hz. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.9.0-14.fc10 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot from the F10-Beta live CD. Actual results: Video mode is set to 1865x1392 pixels at 60 Hz Expected results: Video mode is set to 1600x1200 at 75 Hz or, preferably, 1400x1050 at 85 Hz. Additional info: In both cases, DPI are set to (117, 157) according to Xorg.0.log. However, the system font size under GNOME is huge, and in fact, it is using a significantly higher value of 137 whereas 96 appears a more reasonable choice and moreover the default value in previous releases. For an X session launched after adding a minimum xorg.conf used successfully with F9, the resolution is set correctly to 1400x1050. However, when changing the DPI in the GNOME preferences panel from 137 to 96, the whole system starts over and boots from the CD once again.

Created attachment 325500 [details] Rawhide Xorg.0.log w/o xorg.conf No improvement after upgrading to current "rawhide" including - kernel-2.6.28-0.106.rc6.git4.fc11.x86_64 - xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.9.0-61.fc10.x86_64 - xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.5.3-5.fc10.x86_64
I have retested the issue for current F10 w/updates including: - kernel-2.6.27.10-169.fc10 - xorg-x11-server-1.5.3-8.fc10 - xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.9.0-63.fc10 The X server now defaults to a resolution 1280x1024 at 75 Hz for my HP A4576A 21" CRT when no xorg.conf file is present which is a more sane configuration than the previous one.
