Last time a monitor bit the dust on me, the local shops were already carrying wide ones all but exclusively, blast them -- such dimensions were mythical beasts when even the newest of my machines were built. After much tedious labor and more bitter cursing, I got Fedora *and* the monitor (HP w2207h) to agree to a compromise. Fedora treats it as a 1680x1050 flat panel LCD, but with a choice to *use* it in 1280x1024 mode. And all the machines in the house but two are cheerfully running F10 that way -- all but two, my wife's and my main one. Those are the ones I always upgrade last -- hers because she's writing whole books on it, and I do elaborate multiple backups before any big change; and mine because it has a second hard drive with XP installed. (I have yet to manage to get any of my GPSs to talk with any of my proprietary topo map software under wine or CXO.) Today I decided to tackle my main machine. Anaconda launches -- but before it starts asking about language, keyboard, etc, I get the dread "signal out of range; set to 1680x1050". But it has never ever yet let me get to the normal means of resetting the display. All I can do is hit the reset button, and start over. I know there is some slick trick for getting around this, which always seems adequate when I recall or reconstruct it; but I don't recall now. Clue, please, someone?? -- Beartooth Staffwright, PhD, Neo-Redneck Linux Convert Remember I know precious little of what I am talking about. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
