Hi. I have Fedora Core 6 and by default it choose i810 driver for X for my Intel 915 chip. With i810 driver I had no problem using only my laptop screen - but when I connected external 19" screen all hell broke loose :) to be a bit poetic. or more to the point: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=238747 In my comment #8 you can see that I changed to intel driver, but even that still doesn't work like I expect. I need my external monitor running at it's full resolution of 1280x1024 and desktop also at that resolution. I got desktop running with 1280x1024 but only on a 1024x768 screen resolution - I didn't know that that was even possible! So my deskop acts as with beryl with zoom plugin - I can see only portion on the desktop and the desktop pans as I move my mouse from one corner to the other. I was feeling lucky and tried setting up dual screen setup via system-config-display - that turned to be a big mistake. I got config that wouldn't even work everytime. I got 2 video cards configured - one with intel and other with vesa driver ?!? So please give me your insight on how to make X behave properly, just dont rtfm me, thank you. Del.icio.us links, url's, blogs and any other piece of info is greatly appreciated. Do you have some concrete info regarding fc6+X+intel driver ? I'll post any info you need about my hardware, logs, etc... just ask. Thank you in advance, Valent.
