Most modern drivers use a different method for specifying resolutions. This was introduced with RandR 1.2. s-c-d has never been updated to use this. You can use gnome-display-properties to change the resolution inside GNOME (and configure multiple displays, and a few other things) and any changes you made are saved via gconf, so they will be applied each time that user logs in. If you want to set them system-wide so they apply to all users and desktops and login managers, you'll have to edit xorg.conf manually according to this guide: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 s-c-d is pretty obsolescent these days, it probably needs to be revised or shot in the head soon. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
