I recently attempted to upgrade to FC6T3 on a Dell Computer with an
active Matrox video card as primary and with a secondary Nvidia video
card. The Graphical install failed due to the monitor being severely out
of range.
I then installed FC6T3 via the script due to some multimedia packages
which I'd rather keep intact.
The problem is with the installed version of X in rawhide now. This
version puts the monitor out of range when switching from the top
resolution to any of the lower resolutions.
I first noticed the out of range with the monitor problem when I
launched the game viruskiller. This game would put the monitor out of
range with the FC5 version of xorg.conf which was generated by
system-config-display. I then ran system-config-display --reconfig to
try to get a brand new configuration that might work better for the
changes in X. s-c-display failed to recognize my monitor type which it
recognized when ran in FC5. So I decided to run X -configure which
recognized both video cards, detected the correct monitor, but still has
the out of range errors. The out of reange errors are on the high side
and the values are different with each failure. They mostly range in the
high 90s to low 100s for both the vertical and horizontal failures.
Also, s-c-display only makes the screen resolution top out at 800x600
with 256 colors. The xorg.conf from running X -configure works at
1152x864 and allows lower resolution choices, though they cause the OOR
error.
Bug report filed:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=207804
What changes to X causes this behavior? Are the changes being reverted
or are the effects being remidied by forward changes?
Just joining in the Fun,
Jim
