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
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.
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.
Thank you for letting us know.
