X resolution problems


FC6 i686
Below is the xorg.conf, Problem is , if you go into >Administration >Display and make settings it only allows to set at 640x480 , 800x600 , 1600x1200 and no matter what you set and apply and reboot the computer it will only come as 1600x1200. I want it to come up as 1024x768 .
There must be a bug in Xorg, because Fedora and Ubuntu are having similar xorg problems.

Xorg configuration created by system-config-display

Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "single head configuration"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"

Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection

Section "Device"

DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"

You need this section in your xorg.conf:

	Device		"ATI Technologies Inc RC410 [Radeon Xpress 200]"
	Monitor		"HW191D"
	DefaultDepth	24
	SubSection "Display"
		Depth		1
		Modes		"1440x1440" "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1152x864" "1024x768" "832x624" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480"
	EndSubSection
	SubSection "Display"
		Depth		4
		Modes		"1440x1440" "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1152x864" "1024x768" "832x624" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480"
	EndSubSection
	SubSection "Display"

	EndSubSection
	SubSection "Display"

		Modes		"1440x1440" "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1152x864" "1024x768" "832x624" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480"

	EndSubSection
	SubSection "Display"

I don't want all those Modes I want the resolution of 1024x768 only.
I have other Linux boxes setup at only 1024x768 with no problems.

OK, then do this:

Code:
Section "Screen"
	Identifier	"Default Screen"
	Device		"whatever yours is"
	Monitor		"whatever yours is"
	DefaultDepth	24
		SubSection "Display"
		Depth		24
		Modes		"1024x768"
	EndSubSection
EndSection
