Description of problem: Fedora 12 doesn't recognize the nouveau driver and don't show the screen right, so I tried installing the Nvidia drivers from RPMFusion with no success. Fedora 12 keeps overwriting the xorg.conf file and using the VESA driver and restraining my resolution to 800x600. Using a modeline solves the resolution problem but not the driver and as I discovered it also breaks the system-config-display from Red Hat. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Fedora 12 2. Open a terminal and type "system-config-display" 3. Actual results: It fails, nothing happens. Expected results: Expected to be able to configure the display and drivers. But even if I change the xorg.conf manually it doesn't load the driver(nouveau or nvidia). Additional info: The ABRT Report.

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 It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
