[rhn-users] latest up2date upgrade broke display

[Josep Puigdemont]

Hi,

Answering myself,

I found the magic "ModeLine" for /etc/X11/xorg.conf I needed, here:
http://wiki.x.org/wiki/FAQVideoModes

I needed to add this "ModeLine" in the "Monitor" section:
ModeLine        "1600x1200" 160.00 1600 1664 1856 2160 1200 1201 1204
1250

This solved the problem for me, although the "Monitor" settings will
only work for that particular monitor (and similar) that I happen to
have.

I though that I should open a bug in bugzilla (#170310), because as I
reported, X worked fine before the upgrade, and after the upgrade it
stop doing so, so it must be a bug somewhere (maybe system-config-
display, though).

/Josep
