Found that adding nomodeset to the kernel line would get it to come up with the 1280x1024, but I had my userid set to have compiz, and it would not log in, but other accounts could log in ok. Had to remove compiz, and then could log into my id, but the the screens were not working correctly. Missing outer boxes. Finally found that a gnome subdirectory file had a compiz-gtk line in it under a sessions directory. Removing it, since it was in the other users directories fixed that issue finally. > -- > users mailing list > users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe or change subscription options: > https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users > Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
