Description of Problem: We had a system where Xconfigurator --kickstart fails to generate a valid XF86Config-4 file. It works when run manually, but not not in kickstart mode. One key difference is that in manual mode, it inserts a custom 1400x1050 modeline and sets the display size to 1400x1050. In kickstart mode, it limits itself to 1024x768 How Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Xconfigurator --kickstart --monitor 'Generic Laptop Display Panel 1400x1050' Actual Results: Generated XF86Config file has a display size of 1024x768, which doesn't work properly Expected Results: Should have set display to 1400x1050 Additional Information: It works properly when you run Xconfigurator without --kickstart, and select "Generic Laptop Display Panel 1400x1050" as the monitor. I did some gdb testing, and I think it may be that the code that finds the special 1400x1050 mode is in findCombo() which is never called when --kickstart is used.
Xconfigurator is now considered obsolete. It is replaced in rawhide by redhat-config-xfree86.
