Description of problem: I have two monitors, one is 1680x1050, the other is 1280x1024. When I boot up Fedora, it automatically sets the monitors to mirror each other, and they are both set as 1280x1024. This also affects Plymouth. When I try setting the native resolution on my 22" screen using the Display dialog in Preferences, I get this error: Could not apply selected configuration: required virtual size does not fit available size: requested=(2960, 1050), minimum=(320, 200), maximum=(1680, 1680) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 11 Rawhide (April 1) How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use two displays with a combined resolution greater than 1680x1680 2. Set resolution to greater than 1680x1680. Actual results: Error pops up, and I'm forced to turn off one display. Expected results: Native resolution on both displays. Additional info: Like I said, this also affects plymouth. I get plymouth loading on each screen, and on the 22" screen, it's set to 1280x1024, so I get a big black border around it.

Unfortunately, for the moment you're going to have to create an xorg.conf and set a Virtual like that's large enough to cover both your displays. There's more info on this in the bug I'm going to mark this as a duplicate of. > Additional info: > Like I said, this also affects plymouth.
