I searched both Google and the archives of this list, but could not find
the magic keys to produce useful answers.
I downloaded the Fedora 11(*) live CD and used it to install on two
boxen. Both are showing the same problem. Everything works well until
the screen saver kicks in. At that point the display loses sync and
shows torn jagged diagonal lines across the screen. Any normal input
triggers a recovery and returns to my regularly scheduled programs.
Fedora 11, KDE
Box 1:
Dell GX270 SFF
P-4/Xeon 2.6 GHz
512 MB DDR RAM
20 GB IDE drive
Intel 865 Video Chip
Box 2:
White box
P-4/Celeron 1.0 GHz
512 MB DDR RAM
60 GB IDE drive
Apollo ProMedia PLE133T/a Video chip
Both boxes are talking to a Dell E173FP display through a Compaq KVM.
Display resolution is 1280x1024.
Where can I find instructions on how to re-configure the screen saver so
it inherits the correct video settings?
Where are the rest of the video settings saved so I can enable some of
the options that don't show up? For example, in System Settings->Dislay
the second box only shows a 60 Hz Refresh option. I need to enable and
select 75 Hz. The file I was expecting, /etc/X11/xorg.conf, is not there.
Where can I find instructions on how to install and switch to XFCE?

(*) I am trying out Fedora 11 for several reasons. First, at work we
just switched hosting providers which also means we switched our servers
from Red Hat to CentOS. After the switch, IT will no longer be managing
our external or internal servers. So I need to learn enough about the
environment to keep the development and QA servers in sync with the
hosted servers. Second, Slackware 13 does not play well with the Intel
video chips in most of my Dell computers. i.e. both the live CD and
install CD produce unusable configurations even in CLI modes. I have
been using Slackware since 1993, when it replaced my original Soft
Landing Systems 1.02 system (kernel 0.99pl12). But I have not been happy
with many of the recent choices made by that group. These two reasons
finally shoved me past the tipping point to begin leaving Slackware.
