Hi,

I would like to make my onw modelines and use them in Fedora.
When i do that. only gnome logon screen is using it, and as soon as gnome starts, is goes back to the setting a choose at SystemSetting ->Display.
How can i prefend that?

Thanks,

Jeroen

You might find this link an entertaining way to learn about modelines.

Note, however, that the XFree86 HOWTO, states that versions greater than 4.x (FC1 uses 4.3.x) do not need modelines any longer. See this for an explanation:

(just before section 2.3)
