Xconfigurator is not part of Red Hat Linux 9, and is not supported in Red Hat Linux 9 either. We stopped shipping Xconfigurator in Red Hat Linux 8.0 Sorry, added bug to wrong component. redhat-config-xfree86 gets it's list of supported resolutions from pyxf86config with the xf86config.XF86SupportedResolutions() call. Changing components. xf86config.XF86SupportedResolutions() is the magnificient:
def XF86SupportedResolutions():
return [ "640x480", "800x600", "1024x768",
"1152x864", "1280x960", "1280x1024",
"1400x1050", "1600x1200", "1920x1440"]
Do you want me to add 1920x1200, 1680x1050 and 1280x800 to it?
CCing bfox so he can see the question I added. Yes please :) If you generate a new rpm I'll be happy to test it. Tarjei I guess so if those resolutions are going to be increasingly available in mainstream laptops. It makes the list of resolutions a bit long, but I guess that can't be avoided. Fixed in 0.3.6. Will be in rawhide soonish. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225 Description of problem: The dell inspiron comes with the following screensizes: 15.4-inch Dell UltraSharpTM WUXGA active-matrix display with a resolution of 1920 x 1200, 16 million colours. 15.4-inch Dell UltraSharpTM WSXGA active-matrix display with a resolution of 1680 x 1050, 16 million colours. 15.4-inch Dell UltraSharpTM WXGA active-matrix display with a resolution of 1280 x 800, 16 million colours. I got the model with the 1680X1050 screen, and I cannot get Xcongif to use this correctly. I've ended up using the 1600 X 1200 resolution but this is not a good solution(menus fall outside the screen etc). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xfree 4.3.0 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try installing RH9 on an inspiron ;-) 2. 3.
