Hi; In F8 at first startup I had to text into my xorg.conf and change it to Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" ModelName "Monitor 1280x1024" HorizSync 31.5 - 79.0 VertRefresh 50.0 - 90.0 Option "dpms" EndSection Section "Device" Option "SWCursor" "True" Identifier "Videocard0" Driver "nv" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Videocard0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 Modes "1600x1200" "1440x900" "1400x1050" "1360x768" "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1280x800" "1280x768" "1280x720" "1152x864" "1152x768" "1024x768" "832x624" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480" "640x400" "640x350" or else I got an 880x600 screen layout with no mouse cursor. After changing the xorg.conf and rebooting the 1280x1024 screen was usable to re-setup up my working environment and to do do the upgrades. Eventually I could replace the 'nv' driver with 'nvidia' and was good to go. What has been peoples experience with F9? Should I just automatically go to a manual text display setup and make the changes in xorg.conf or does F9 now start with a usable screen and mouse cursor? (I am printing out a hard copy of my working xorg.conf just in case.) -- Regards Bill -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
