Same problem here with the same card. ATI Technologies Inc M76 [Radeon Mobility HD 2600 Series] [1002:9581] Using radeon test day live usb. http://www.smolts.org/client/show/pub_bf164e34-ffe2-4be8-a306-49f5674a649c xrandr: Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1200, maximum 8192 x 8192 VGA-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) HDMI-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DVI-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) LVDS connected 1920x1200+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 331mm x 207mm 1920x1200 60.0*+ A hint to others, log in on the console and execute rm ~/.config/monitors.xml to remove the bad configuration and allow login again. Really this rotation tool needs a failsafe test mode, breaking the login is bad.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 11. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '11'. 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 11'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 11 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
