At the end 1280x1024 is used so the settings made in firstboot are being ignored. I've got the same problem. I just installed FC2 test3. After i restarted I picked 1400x1050 the first time it asked (dell inspiron 5150 laptop, geforcefx go, stock nv non-accelerated driver) Then, i got the welcome screen, license agreement, date & time screen, and Now its asking to change screen settings again! Its only showing options for 800x600 & 640x480 which will look horrible on the LCD panel. The funny thing is, that this welcome screen is in 1400x1050. Why is it asking again? one more thing. It uses 640x480 for the screen resolution once i logged in, even though i picked out 800x600 which is too low a resoultion anyway. I also observed this. Possibly relevant information: I chose "Generic LCD panel 1024x768" for my laptop display. Bug 121946 looks similar. Seems quite odd to be asking the user more than once to configure display settings during install. I had this problem too, I tried editing the xorg.conf file as well and manually putting mine at 1600x1200, I would restart X and lo and behold it would be back to 640x480 and my changes to xorg.conf would be gone. But then I saw the lines: ### Uncomment if you don't want to default to DDC: # HorizSync 30.0 - 110.0 # VertRefresh 50.0 - 160.0 so I uncommented them, made it 1600x1200 and voila! It worked. I ran into this problem as well, on a laptop with a generic GeForce 4 driver and an LCD 1024x768 display. *** Bug 122205 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Me too: on a Sony Vaio PCG-SRX77p that's known to work reasonably well with RedHat 9. It happens to me as well. HP Pavilion Laptop Generic 1024x768 display (NO DDC). It seems that the X config program cannot handle non DDC monitors well, as I had to go and manualy edit the config file for it to completely work with my display. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 121489 *** *** Bug 122459 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** This is *not* a duplicate of 121489, which refers to excess re- reunning of system-config-*. The underlying issue is that the system- config-* programs mis-set the refresh rates on at least some laptop LCD screens, which can only be corrected by hand-editing the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to reduce the vertical refresh rate to something the laptop LCD can actually support, such as 60 Cycles. Nico: I disagree. The original reporter's bug is a duplicate of bug 121489. The problem is that system-config-display was getting run twice, and the second time it was getting run is what was causing the rates to get messed up. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 121489 *** Changed to 'CLOSED' state since 'RESOLVED' has been deprecated. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113 Description of problem: After installing FC2T3 system-config-xfree has been started automatically and I choose 1280x1024 as my default screen resolution. Then firstboot started and asked me again to set my screen resolution, but this only 640x480 and 800x600 were available. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot a freshly installed FC2T3 2. system-config-xfree runs --> set a default resolution 3. firstboot runs --> have a look at the available resolutions Additional info:
