X Server Log file - without using xorg.conf

Description of problem:

Unable to change my screen resolution from 800x600. 

My Monitor model is Acer AL1702W and when I used Fedora 11, I selected 1280x800 as my screen resolution and it worked well. After some updates, my screen resolution is changed to 800x600. 

After getting this problem, I checked my xorg.conf file. As this file is not exists, I created it using system-config-display. Selected my monitor as Acer AL1702 and restarted my XServer. Still I have 800x600 and 640x480 in the resolutions drop down box. I tried modifying the xorg.conf file and in the Screen section, I added:

Modes "1280x800" "1024x768" "800x600"

And then restarted my XServer with no luck. 

Restarted my X Server and saved the Xorg.0.log file, which is attached along with this bug report.

Even after upgrading to Fedora 12, this problem is not solved.



Actual results:

I cannot change my screen resolution from 800x600.

Expected results:

I should be able to select 1280x800 as my screen resolution.


Additional info:

Monitor Model: Acer AL1702W

Graphics Card: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)

Hi, after install F12 from a clean Install, I can't change the screen resolution. 
My card is a Intel 82945G/GZ and I edit the xorg.conf file with some resolutions but nothing hapen even after reboot the system.

This is my xorg.conf

Section "Monitor"
	Identifier   "Monitor0"
	ModelName    "LCD Panel 1280x1024"
	HorizSync    31.5 - 64.0

It is a driver bug?
Can anyone help me?

Thanks for the bug report.  We have reviewed the information you have provided above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful in our diagnosis of this issue.

Please attach your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf, if available), output of the dmesg command, and X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link below.

We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information.

Thanks in advance.

I don't have xorg.conf file and the XOrg.0.log file is already attached to this bug report.

Also, this problem is fixed when I changed my monitor. (New monitor's model is also same as the old one)

Comment 4 Alexander Kahl 2009-12-06 14:30:53 UTC
I have the same problem with the 945GME chipset.

Comment 5 Frode Tennebø 2010-04-19 10:35:04 UTC
I had the same problem.

I found this thread http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=234612, added "nomodeset" to kernel parameters, but also added

Modes  "1600x1200"

to the Display SubSection.  Otherwise I got a too large resolution.

Seems to work.

Comment 6 Bug Zapper 2010-11-04 05:57:54 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 12.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '12'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

Comment 7 Marius Andreiana 2010-11-12 19:35:57 UTC
On MacBook Pro 6.2, the default resolution shown in gnome-display-properties is 1680x1050. There are no other resolutions listed which have the same 1.6 aspect ratio.

I'm looking for 1280x800, which isn't listed. 1280x960 is listed.

gnome-display-properties lists monitor as Unknown. Will attach required files.
