 You could try seeing if any of the nonsense in my web page helps:

It definitely got me going in the right direction. Thank you.

 The trouble is, it seems more and more like the latest versions
 of X have gotten so snooty and known-it-all that they absolutely
 refuse to use any kind of user supplied mode line, so it may be
 impossible.

That was my experience until I read through your doc. I didn't know
about the cvt program. Using that generated a modeline that, when
inserted properly in /etc/X11/xorg.conf actually worked!

I'm now happily working at 1280x768_75. Thanks again!

F-10 text install, now want GUI

2008-11-27 Thread C Lance Moxley
For whatever reason, a system that I installed F-10 on didn't like the
display and had to be installed via text mode. Now I want to go back
and try to get X working. In the past, system-config-display would get
me started. What is the process with F-10? I thought I'd look at a
working F-10 system but I don't seem to even have /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

Fwiw, F-8 was installed and working fine on this system before.

 system-config-display was depracted since the native detection works for most 
 combinations, but not all :(, I have been also at this end, but youc an fix 
 it as following:

 You have two options

 1) as root user (su -c )
 # yum install system-config-display
 and use
 $ system-config-display
 to setup/configure your system

This is exactly what I needed.

Thank you very much!
