Hi
I have just upgraded Centos 7 to 8 on this same hardware and previous
gnome installation was fine with 1920x1200 resolution on the HP LP2465
(24" ) monitor. (BTW: Upgrade did not go smooth due to insufficient
space on root partition).
The problem is that the maximum resolution available for selection is
now only 1280x1024. Not sure if fglrx driver should now be used instead
of VESA. I don't know the next step to get the auto detect to correct
this.
The next step is to check dmesg for why the radeon kernel driver didn't
initialize HW acceleration.
Thank you for your response.
I had look but, don't see anything. See attached file a.
There's no trace of the radeon kernel driver even getting loaded. Does
running
sudo modprobe radeon
manually work? If yes, maybe it's blacklisted e.g. in a file under
/etc/modprobe.d/. If no, provide the output from modprobe and from dmesg
after trying it.
sudo modprobe radeon

source of my problem.
