Kubuntu Not really.

I suspect there's a bug here which is that Fedora's intel driver doesn't probe all modes correctly. You should file that. Beyond that, it's just a configuration issue, you need to set your xorg.conf to correctly disable probing and manually define the mode you want to use. I provided instructions which ought to be able to achieve that. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
