Problem with Fedora11 Display
 

Hello

I am facing some problem with X display in my newly installed Fedora 11 ( in compaq presario system - a bit old system though !! ). When I open some images, it shows some horizontal lines and some grains, Normal desktop shows without any problem but applications are not opening properly. attached is one image I collected while opening a png image. How do I start trouble shoot the issue. In normal case ( with static contents ) Firefox works well but when I open some youtube video or so, it shows only some grains and horizontal lines.

Thanks

You should look at the xorg.conf file on the partition used by ubuntu to see if there are any missing values. Look in the screen section for possible xrandr values.

Thanks Mr-Bisquit

Sorry to say that in FC11 partition I am not able to locate xorg.conf file. It is not there under /etc/X11. Is it a different file which will be used by xorg in FC11 ?

Thanks

Hm, should be /etc/X11/xorg.conf...

do a locate for xorg.conf.

Try:

system-config-desktop --reconfig

or:

change your graphics driver to vesa, in xorg.conf:

Driver 'vesa'

Thanks James for suggestions

I am not able to locate xorg.conf in my system. The following is the contents of /etc/X11

# find /etc/X11/
/etc/X11/
/etc/X11/xorg.conf
/etc/X11/xinit
/etc/X11/xinit/Xclients.d

/etc/X11/fontpath.d/default-ghostscript
/etc/X11/fontpath.d/cjkuni-fonts
/etc/X11/applnk
/etc/X11/Xresources

I couldn't find system-config-desktop also in my system. Is there any package which if I reinstall with yum - can resolve some of there issues ?


Thanks

Hmm, it must exist buddy as it's the second entry returned by that find command you've ran :) :

# find /etc/X11/
/etc/X11/xorg.conf

Edit this to say:

Driver 'vesa'

or alternatively install system-config-display:

# yum provides system-config-display
# yum install system-config-display

You can then run:

# system-config-display --reconfig

This will run x windows and ask you to reconfigure your graphics options.

Good luck.

I could solve the problem .. I have installed system-config-display and configured the display to get things working !!!!

thanks for the help

Glad it worked :)
