During a recent re-install to Fedora 8, I have found that the 1920x1200
resolution that I had in Fedora 7 has been lost. Even with the
915resolution hack, the resolution still is off. From what I can guess,
it looks like 1280x1024 or 1440x900. Has anyone had success achieving
this resolution, if so how?
I did notice a few peculiarities. First, I was able to get a resolution
close to (if not exactly) 1920x1200 after futzing with the screen
resolution in the GUI, logging out, logging back in. The couple times I
saw the "good" resolution, I had reduced my screen resolution setting,
restarted, then updated the screen resolution to 1920x12000 and clicked
apply. After the next login, the resolution was back to its reduced
version. I also notice that each time I login, the resolution appears
to magnify as the fonts/icons are being loaded. The text generally
shows up first in a smaller form, and then magnifies as everything is
loaded. I don't know whether either of these two points are relevant,
but I did find them unusual.
My configuration is below.
