Actually there's apparently not much "set up" I can do with F13 ATM. It's obvious F13's Intel driver is the biggest problem here, maybe generally, maybe the 845G gfxchip..... > What monitor *is* this, anyway? 3 different Trinitron CRTs. All old. All work fine @ 2048x1536 with any Kubuntu, SUSE or Mandriva I throw at them, radeon, intel or mga. They also work fine @ 2048x1536 using F13 with mga. I don't have F13 on radeon or Intel (other than 845G) to try. >> On Factory, Cooker and Lucid, I can accomplish what I want.

Kubuntu Lucid seems stuck on 2.6.32 kernel, but Factory & Cooker are using 2.6.33. OTOH, all but F13 are on X 1.7.5, while F13 is showing 1.8.0rc1. > they're not very comparable. Ubuntu's results seem nuts - it claims > 2048x1536 as a 'probed' mode. Very few monitors are capable of that. I have 7 under this roof that can do 2048x1536, only one of which had a non-zero acquisition cost, and one real oldie that only can do up to 1920x1440 (NEC P1150). The NEC is the only one I can get F13 to do better than 1024x768 on using i845G. I only tried 1600x1200 on it, but got 1920x1440 on it from SUSE 10.2. The Xorg.0.logs and xorg.confs for the 4 displays and bunches of F13s, SUSEs, Kubuntus & Cookers are in http://fm.no-ip.com/tmp/Linux/Xorg/ . 31 files created in past 50 or so hours. Some of the logs from the newest X versions do not include customary probed mode info, so I've included several older to prove modes above 1024x768 up through 2048x1536 can get found via probing. I've appended xrandr output to several too. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.
