From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020625 Description of problem: I tried using a resolution of 800x600 with my S3 Trio64 (generic), 1M card, but found that it wouldn't display correctly on the right side of the screen. But when I went to set the resolution back to 640x480, I couldn't find this resolution in the selection list. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. Started System Tools -> Display configuration 2. Changed my monitor to NEC MultiSync A700+ 3. Changed my resolution from 640x480 to 800x600 4. Logged out and used Ctrl+Shift+Backspace 5. Logged in and tried the two other color-depth settings, but neither worked. (Logged out and used Ctrl+Shift+Backspace each time) 6. Tried to change the resolution back to 640x480, but couldn't find that setting anymore. Actual Results: Lowest resolution setting was 800x600. Expected Results: A lower resolution setting of 640x480. Additional info: # rpm -q redhat-config-xfree86 redhat-config-xfree86-0.4.5-1 Workaround accomplished using vi /etc/X11/XF86Config, so I've set the severity of this bug to low.
I have S3 Virge video and initially I was stuck at 1200x1024 with no other options for video resolution. I however 'fixed' problem by changing the monitor to generic non-interlaced 1024x768. Re-logging in and then going back to my original monitor (sony CDS-100SX) Suddenly all my video settings were configurable.
I'm adding a 640x480 choise.
