1916 The display on my main F8 machine looked a little odd; so I went to Main Menu > System > Administration > Display ; gave the root password ; found it set to the next bigger monitor than my Acer AL1916, which is 1280x1024 -- despite the fact that Fedora on that machine (but not my others) does recognize the monitor. (The others, behind the same KVM switch -- all installed with peripherals connected directly, *not* behind the switch -- don't even list it, and have to be set for generic LCD 1280x1024.) Then I logged out and back in. The display still looks odd, though in a different way. But it won't let me tinker. I get as far as giving the root password, but the system-config-display GUI, or whatever it is, never launches! -- Beartooth Staffwright, PhD, Neo-Redneck Linux Convert Remember I know precious little of what I am talking about.
