Having been fed up with the lack of a correct resolution I decided to upgrade to fedora rawhide, I've been updating daily and messing about with my xorg.conf to try and get this resolved without the need for 915resolution. Over the weekend I logged into my work box, updated it (Fedora Core release 5.90 rawhide as of 20070709), then rebooted it. To my happy surprise this morning I moved the mouse and when the screen un-blanked it was at the correct resolution, no panning, nothing cropped off the screen. Ohh joy and happy days.. So, the package versions that might be of interest to people are : xorg-x11-drv-i810-1.6.0-6.modeset20060707 xorg-x11-drivers-7.1-2 xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.1.0-27.fc6 And my xorg.conf file is here : [root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf # Xorg configuration created by system-config-display Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "single head configuration" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection Section "Files" # Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together) # By default, a font server independent of the X server is # used to render fonts.
