changing display parameters
changing display parameters
Were do you change the monitor type? I would like to use a higher resolution than the default will allow. In Release 5.5 I could search for a monitor from a list and pick my monitor and then it would allow me to change the resolution.

See [url=https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=586117]BZ#586117[/url] which contains my suggested work-around. It also [url=http://www.fedora.redhat.com/wiki/How_to_create_xorg.conf]disappears from Fedora for 14 and up[/url]. The latest SRPM is [url=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/13/Everything/source/SRPMS/system-config-display-2.2-1.fc12.src.rpm]system-config-display-2.2-1.fc12.src.rpm[/url].
The [url=http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Migration_Planning_Guide/chap-Migration_Guide-Package_Changes.html]suggested replacement[/url] is xrandr but that lacks the functionality to set the monitor if it is not auto-detected properly.
Perhaps some 3rd party repo could be persuaded to supply system-config-display.

Re: changing display parameters
I was able to get higher resolution by coping the xorg.conf file from a Centos 5.6 release to the /etc/X11 directory on the 6.0 release, but the monitor type was not recognised.
