I installed system-config-display, and after running it, if I use the KDE tool to change the resolution, it now attempts to do so. Unfortunately, I get the same results as I got with xrandr; most of the resolutions just give me a black screen. If I use system-config-display to change the resolution, I also get the same result, with the added problem of having to boot single-user to delete the xorg.conf file to get the display back. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
