Re: Unable to get true 1920x1200 resolution with Fedora 8

Todd, that would explain why my Display Settings and Resolution settings both say 1920x1200. The reason I know it is not that actual resolution is twofold. First, I had Fedora 5, 6 and 7 installed on this laptop, so I've grown accustomed to a particular resolution setting. Secondly, this same laptop is being used by another user with a Windows XP installation, and the differences between resolutions are night and day. That said, I've attached the 2 different outputs of xdpyinfo. One when I've acheived what I believe is 1920x1200 resolution, and one when it is defaulted back to 1280x960 (i think). They are identical outputs, but the display is completely different. I can send screenshots to anyone who's interested.

I did manage to find an article that *may* be related: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/gutsy/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/15131

I'm attempting some of the user suggestions for this bug, but so far nothing has managed to correct the issue.

What I've found to be odd is that the Fedora 8 install dropped me in to what it describes as a 1920x1200 resolution, but it is obviously not. I was just able to replicate the "phenomenon" that allows me to get a temporary 1920x1200 resolution. Here are the steps to reproduce:

1) Using init level of 3, run startx.
1) Change the screen resolution (not disply settings) to a lower resolution
2) kill the gnome session (ctrl+alt+backspace)
3) start back up the X environment (startx)
4) Go back to the screen resolution preferences, and change back to 1920x1200 and click apply. 5) My resolution appears to be correct for now, but once I logout and log back in, I will be back to a crappy resolution (1280x960 or similar I think).


I am curious, by what method do you know you are not at 1920x1200, and at what resolution you are really at ????
xdpyinfo???
It looks like, from your Xorg.0.log if I interpreted it correctly, that you should be in one of:
"1920x1200"x60.0
"1360x768"x59.8
"1360x768"x60.0
"1280x800"x60.0
"1152x864"x60.0
"1280x768"x60.0
"1280x720"x60.0
"1024x768"x60.0
"800x600"x60.3
"640x480"x59.9
