Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Fedora Project Wiki" for change notification. The following page has been changed by BillNottingham: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Beats/Xorg The comment on the change is: add some notes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This section contains information related to the X Window System implementation provided with Fedora. This section has not been updated for Fedora Core [[GetVal(DocsDict,BeatsVer)]] by the [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/ReleaseNotes/Beats beat writer]. + == X Configuration Changes == + + The '''X.org 7.1''' X server has been modified to automatically detect and configure most hardware, eliminating the need for users or administrators to modify the `/etc/X11/xorg.conf` configuration file. The only hardware configured by default in the `xorg.conf` file + written by anaconda is: + * the graphics driver + * the keyboard map + + All other hardware, including monitors (both LCD and CRT), USB mice, touchpads, should be detected and configured automatically. + + The X server will query the attached monitor for supported resolution ranges, and attempt to pick the highest resolution available with the correct aspect ratio for the display. Users can set their preferred resolution in ''System => Preferences => Screen Resolution'', and the default resolution for the system can be changed with ''System => Administration => Display''. + + If the `/etc/X11/xorg.conf` configuration file is not present, X will also automatically detect the appropriate driver, and will assume a 105-key US keyboard layout. + + == Intel Driver notes == + + Fedora Core [[GetVal(DocsDict,BeatsVer)]] contains two drivers for Intel integrated graphics controllers. + + * The default `i810` driver, which contains support for Intel graphics chipsets up to and including i945 and i965 + * The experimental `intel` driver, which contains support for Intel graphics chipsets up to and including i945. + + The `i810` driver is limited to resolutions available in the BIOS. If you need support for non-standard resolutions, such as those used in some widescreen displays, you may want to switch to the `intel` driver. You may switch drivers by using `system-config-display`, available + in the menus under ''System => Administration => Display''. + + We welcome feedback on the experimental `intel` driver. Please report success in [http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/ Bugzilla], attaching + the full output of `lspci -v` for your machine. Given success reports, various chipsets may be switched to use the `intel` driver by default. == Enabling compiz and AIGLX ==
