in F11 the configuration is dynamically detected just as in F12, so you still need a static configuration in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf, with a modeline like e.g. Section "Monitor" Identifier "DELL 2001FP" DisplaySize 367 275 HorizSync 31-80 VertRefresh 56-76 Option "DPMS" ModeLine "1600x1200" 160.00 1600 1664 1856 2160 1200 1201 1204 1250 EndSection cheers paul <div class="gmail_quote">2009/11/19 Greg Woods <<a href="mailto:woods@ucar.edu">woods@ucar.edu</a>> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> On Wed, 2009-11-18 at 19:29 -0500, Todd Denniston wrote: > You mentioned being able to "restore my F11 system from backup". > Did that backup have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file? I tried this too. Installed the old xorg.conf file from F11. Still NO JOY. If the external monitor is connected, it won't do anything better than 800x600. This is a show stopper for me, I will have to go back to Fedora 11 unless I can find a way to disable the broken auto-probing of the external monitor and just force it to use 1024x768. There are no monitors I ever connect to that can't handle at least this resolution, so it should be safe if I can figure out how to do it. <div><div></div><div class="h5"> --Greg -- fedora-list mailing list <a href="mailto:fedora-list@redhat.com">fedora-list@redhat.com</a> To unsubscribe: <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list" target="_blank">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list</a> Guidelines: <a href="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines" target="_blank">http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines</a> </div></div></blockquote></div>
