Hi Sampath: You're welcome anytime. LG StudioWorks 520Si monitor and intel 810 chipset board is what i've been using since 1999 ! The same xorg.conf settings across XFree86 3.x 4.x and Xorg 6.x 7.x have given different results, given the quality of the driver support. Redhat 6.3 Redhat 7.0 Redhat 7.1 Redhat 7.2 Redhat 7.3 Redhat 8.0 Redhat 9.0 Fedora 1 Fedora 2 Fedora 4 Fedora 5 Fedora 6 Fedora 7 Fedora 8 are the distro versions that i used with the same xfree86.conf / xorg.conf In the 7.x, 8 and 9 series, after the installation of the packages would be complete, there would be a screen to configure X. In 9 out of 10 cases, auto configuration would fail and anaconda installer would abort saying installation filed. The sad part of this step would be that grub never got installed. So after one hour of installation you have essentially a unusable system. Free as in free pain ! interestingly enough while the display support did not substantially improve, the commands key changing xfree86cfg redhat-display system-display etc. i always maintained one copy of the X configuration file on my file server and then would just copy it to /etc/X11/ after the installation would complete. Fedora 8 essentially copies the OpenSuSe approach in engineering, usability and polish into the desktop. Good to see it improve. I've been using OpenSuSe 10.1/.2 since 2005 and it's very polished. YaST updates are smooth. The system is very stable and it works fantastic on widescreen laptops. Have a nice day ! thanks Saifi.
