Description of problem: I have a 19" CRT-Monitor Iiyama HM903DT. The xserver detects, that the monitor can 2048x1536. So the default resolution is 2048x1536. But this resolution is by far too high. The best resolution should be 1280x960. But that resolution is not selectable. So the second best could be 1280x1024. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 14 and Fedora 15 Beta, X-Server 1.9 and X-Server 1.10 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start Fedora the first time (for instance with the live cd) 2. The Boot-Resolution, the login-page-resolution and the logged-in resolution is 2048x1536 3. Actual results: 1. Problem: default resolution is 2048x1536 2. Problem: No 1280x960 resolution is selectable Expected results: the default resolution should be 1280x960 Additional info:

A suggestion for automatically choosing the right default resolution could be: - Is the Monitor a Flatscreen or a Beamer? - Yes: Choose the native screen resolution - No: Is it a CRT? - Yes, it is a CRT: choose a resolution around 100 dpi (or so) with an aspect ratio of 4:3. - No: It's not a CRT and not a Flatscreen or Beamer: It's something different. Choose the highest resolution?
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle. Changing version to '19'. (As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.) More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping/Fedora19
This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'. 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. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 19 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, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. 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.
Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
