Description Michael Madore 2009-04-03 18:36:17 UTC
Description of problem:

Attempted to create a basic xorg.conf file by running X -configure

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

1.6.0-16.fc11

How reproducible:

Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. From runlevel 3 execute "X -configure"
2.
3.
  
Actual results:

The following error message:

Number of created screens does not match number of detected devices. Configuration failed.

Expected results:

A basic xorg.conf file should be generated

Additional info:

I needed to create an xorg.conf file because the default maximum desktop size is not large enough to run my two monitors in dual head at the correct resolution.

ASUS K8N-DL
4GB RAM
Radeon HD 4670
Samsung Syncmaster 206BW

Should be fixed in xorg-x11-drv-nv 2.1.13

Comment 3 Marc Perkel 2011-05-21 15:35:21 UTC
Im running this version:

xorg-x11-drv-nv.x86_64                   2.1.15-6.fc14

And I get the same result.

Comment 4 al morris 2011-05-25 05:36:27 UTC
happening with fedora 15

never got this before on this machine...
this machine has gone through f8 to f15 

obviously something in the depths of Xorg that I don't know.

adios,
