...It's changed in Fedora Core 2 because (in part) XFree86 has been
replaced with X.org. The command has been renamed to
system-config-display.
Usage: system-config-display [OPTIONS]
Options:
-h, --help display this help and exit
-v, --verbose display what the program is doing more verbosely
-o, --output= the filename of the config file to be output
--reconfig don't base configuration on existing config files
--noui don't show the gui, implicit when using --set
options
--forceui force the ui to be shown, needed when using --set
options
to change some setting, but you still want to show
the ui
--set-<key>= change the value of a specific configuration key.
currently supported keys are:
resolution the screen resolution used
depth the color depth in bits
most drivers support 8, 15, 16 and 24
driver the graphics card driver to use
card the graphics card description to use
e.g. 'ATI Radeon (generic)'
vsync monitor vertical sync rates allowed (in Hz)
hsync monitor horizontal sync rates allowed (in kHz)
videoram the amount of videoram in kilobytes, 0 means probe
The config files are also a little different. All of them are in
/etc/X11, but there are now both XF86Config and xorg.conf files to deal
with. They seem to be pretty much copies of each other. I'm assuming for
compatibility reasons.
Someone with greater knowledge than me could certainly explain this
better.
Cheers,
Chris
