FC6 Display Resolution Problem

[sirius56]

FC6 installed on my Intel DG965SS motherboard but there is only one problem. I can't get the screen resolution to change from its initial 1280 x 1024 to any other resolution. In particular, I want 1024 x 768.

When I select 1024 x 768, system-config-display changes /etc/X11/xorg.conf from

Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "i810"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
EndSubSection
EndSection

to

Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "i810"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1280x800" "1152x864" "1152x768" "1024x768" "1024x768" "800x600" "800x600" "640x480" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection

The above Modes line is strange. Is there a flaw in system-config-display?

Thank you.

I'm experiencing complete instability of my X-windows with a Intel 945GM chipset (on-board GMA 950 graphics), which also uses the i810 driver. Where can I find info about this on the web? I went to the <a href="http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/release-notes/">release notes on the Fedora Wiki</a> and there's some @#$%@$%@$% message about things not being fully operational because of the FC6 download traffic. Like that's a good reason to take down the @#$%@$#% relesae notes for a brand new distribution?

OK, deep breaths. Where can I find this info, because I can't read it on that machine until I get my X fixed. It looks like there were big changes to the xorg.conf file; there isn't a "monitor" section at all. I need to find out about this.

Maybe you could backup your working xorg.conf and edit xorg.conf yourself, by hand. Remove everything in the mode line EXCEPT 1024x768, save, log out of X and log back in. If you run into trouble copy your working xorg.conf back and logout/in again. No harm done.

glennzo,

Thank you for your suggestion.

I did edit everything out except "1024 x 768". I also tried Option "UseEDID" "false" in the display section, as some have suggested. NO luck.

I feel this must be a bug in system-config-display because enough people are mentioning the problem in the forums. How does one report a bug such as this to the proper channels?
