X.org on F13 Alpha and monitor setup
 

Today I wanted to give F13 Alpha a test and installed it. The
installation went fine but I do not get a proper screen resolution
setup. The basic setup was done via system-config-display, I only added
a modeline. But it seems to me that the modeline is ignored. Is this a
new behavior because of kernel based mode setting or is this a bug and I
should file a report? At the moment the screen resolution is 1024x768
but I expected 1280x1024. Can someone confirm this behavior?

I'm wondering because before F10 was installed, and I even did not need
to setup a modeline. Everything was automatically configured by X.org.

cheers,
Stefan

PS: It was a fresh install.

Can you check /var/log/Xorg.0.log , and see what that says?

If your monitor is actually capable of 1280x1024 (*properly* capable -
if it's an LCD whose native resolution is 1024x768, this behaviour is
not a bug, it's correct), then it's certainly a bug for X not to detect
this, and you should file it:

I'm guessing from his xorg.conf that he has an Ezio L568, which is
1280x1024. But we really should be parsing that from EDID correctly.

The native resolution of the monitor is 1280x1024, so no problem here. I
did another test and removed the /etc/X11/xorg.conf. When I'm using the
DVI port, then the resolution is correctly adjusted to 1280x1024 even by
KMS during boot time. But when I use the analog port, then the screen is
detected as max resolution 1024x768. Disabling KMS via nomodeset did not
help. I guess this is really a bug and opened one. For references:

Yup, sounds like a bug alright. Thanks for filing.
