Description Tim Wegener 2009-05-01 16:07:02 UTC
Created attachment 342111 [details]
Xorg.0.log with no xorg.conf present (resolution limited)

Description of problem:
I am unable to select a display resolution greater than 1024x768 even though my video card (ATI Radeon 9200 PRO RV280) and monitor (ViewSonic E771) support 1280x1024, etc. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.29.1-111.fc11.i586
xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.12.2-7.fc11.i586

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot/start X
2. It is evident via xrandr, etc. that resolution is 1024x768 and display preferences do not allow selecting a higher resolution.
3.
  
Actual results:
Limited to 1024x768 resolution

Expected results:
Able to choose higher resolutions such as 1280x1024

Additional info:
Booting with the 'nomodeset' option allows higher resolutions to be selected.
Xorg.0.log is attached

Comment 8 Matěj Cepl 2009-11-05 18:28:11 UTC
Since this bugzilla report was filed, there have been several major updates in various components of the Xorg system, which may have resolved this issue. Users who have experienced this problem are encouraged to upgrade their system to the latest version of their packages. For packages from updates-testing repository you can use command

yum upgrade --enablerepo='*-updates-testing'

Alternatively, you can also try to test whether this bug is reproducible with the upcoming Fedora 12 distribution by downloading LiveMedia of F12 Beta available at http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/ . By using that you get all the latest packages without need to install anything on your computer. For more information on using LiveMedia take a look at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraLiveCD .

Please, if you experience this problem on the up-to-date system, let us now in the comment for this bug, or whether the upgraded system works for you.

If you won't be able to reply in one month, I will have to close this bug as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Thank you.

[This is a bulk message for all open Fedora Rawhide Xorg-related bugs. I'm adding myself to the CC list for each bug, so I'll see any comments you make after this and do my best to make sure every issue gets proper attention.]

Comment 9 Tim Wegener 2009-11-07 05:42:12 UTC
Problem still persists with updated xorg packages from updates-testing.

kernel-2.6.30.8-64.fc11.i586
xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.12.2-14.fc11.i586
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.6.4-0.2.fc11
xorg-x11-server-common-1.6.4-0.2.fc11

Comment 10 Electron 2009-11-12 22:01:46 UTC
Same problem with F12-Alpha-i686-Live.
I'll try F12-Beta-i686-Live tomorrow.
I installed anyway F12 final ;-)
I will keep you informed.

Comment 11 Electron 2009-11-13 18:51:49 UTC
Finally, I tried F12 nightly-composes/desktop/desktop-i386-20091111.16.iso

kernel-2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686.rpm
xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.13.0-0.10.20091006git457646d73.fc12.i686.rpm
xorg-x11-server-common-1.7.1-7.fc12.i686
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.7.1-7.fc12.i686

So, (1152x864 75Hz) (1280x960 60Hz) (1280x1024 60Hz) comeback.
Perfect for me !

Nevertheless, I noticed this bug #529146
But it is not the subject here.
