Hello all- Long time lurker, first time Fedora 5 respin 1 installer. I just installed Fedora 5 on a Intel Pentium 4 2Ghz box with a 24" widescreen Acer AL2416W monitor. The system previously had Win on it, and the display worked fine. During the installation, it said it had found the right video driver. When I boot up Fedora 5, the startup screen and the initial login screen look fine, but once I get to the username prompt screen, it's all stretched. I've played around with the settings, and pressed "auto" to config the display several times, and i can get the login to look normal, but it thinks it's at 1600x1200, even tho I told Fedora to use 1920x1200. I can login and get a desktop. The menu at the top won't display anything when I click on it- but the clock is running. The screen itself is stretched from top to bottom and other than a blue outline around the menu items when I click on them, nothing works. I've created several other accounts on the box, but they all suffer from the same display problems. I've tried to login using Gnome failsafe, but I get a "Your session only lasted less than 10 seconds" followed by a dialog box. The ~/.xsession-errors file says, amongst other things: "This process is currently running setuid or setgid. This is not a supported use of GTK+". So much for fail-safe eh? I instlaled KDE (actually reinstalled the whole OS), and I see that it seems to come up on the display just fine. Too bad I didn't load KDE the first time around. Can anyone point me to how to correct this, or am I stuck using Kde or just sshing in from my mac to use this new box? :( Thanks for any help.
