Display ignores settings in xorg.conf

[ctyler2621]

Regardless of the settings contained in my xorg file, my maximum resolution is always 1024x768.
I've tried to remove the xorg.conf file and it white screens, when I do a CTRL-ALT-BKSPCI can see the screen as it should be with the wallpaper for a split second before X dies.
No problems prior to updating xorg lastnight although I cannot say for sure that is what caused this issue.
Livna repo is installed and has been working fine prior to this at a resolution of 1440x900. Any help is appreciated.

You haven't specified what release of Fedora you're running (F8 or F9) although I suspect F9, nor what updates were made before the change.

The whole X11/Xorg mess is still under heavy development and revision, with changes occuring constantly. A regression is really not a surprise. Most importantly, is direct rendering still working ? Check with:
glxinfo|grep render

Result will be either "Yes" or "No". Personally, I don't understand why 1024x768 isn't good enough, but I suppose if you're used to 1440x900... Please attach copy of Xorg.0.log in full. It appears that there are problems because xorg.conf specifies LCD but that snippet from Xorg.0.log says CRT....

I got it fixed finally..

After adding a modeline, I ran 'sudo nvidia-settings' and it finally picked up the change and made a modified xorg.conf for me and all looks to be ok now.

Here is my revised xorg.conf file:

# nvidia-settings: version 1.0 (buildmeister@builder63) Thu Jun 5 00:11:12 PDT 2008
