On F8/9/10, I was able to drop in my xorg.conf

I am not able to do this with F11.
My montor is a Hitachi CM715, and my onboard
video is an Intel 82945G/GZ Integrated graphics
controller.
I have tried system-config-display& it seems
to limit my resolution to 1280x1024.
How can I resolve this problem?
This is probably because you’ve got kernel mode-setting turned on. The
graphics mode setting (including the resolution) happens very early on
in the boot sequence, before / is mounted. So it can’t read your
xorg.conf file.
I’m in a very similar situation, and filed
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=512602 over a month ago.
For the time being, live with 1280x1024 or put nomodeset into the kernel
command line (in grub) – unless anyone knows of a way of configuring KMS
resolution from within grub?
Hope this helps,
James.
Yup! That worked for me!
I now have the full resolutions!

So it seems there is a bug for sure!
Thanks!
