Size, resolution, desktop effects issues after update [F12, X, Gnome, Compiz, xrandr, radeon, RV350 AS Radeon 9550]
Hi,
After recent updates to kernel 2.6.31.6-145.fc12.i686.PAE my Gnome started behave strangely. It looks xrandr stopped probing my screen and card properly and it looks Compiz (Desktop Effects) stopped working properly either. Compiz seems to be working, but I cannot switch between desktops, like I would have only one desktop and the "Workspaces on a Cube" does not work, I mean I can select it by the cube is not there. I tried Metacity and the only difference is that I can switch between workspaces. I believe I had the same issues in F10 & F11, that is why I stopped using them a while ago. I came back to F12 because all looked great after initial install. Few updates and it looks to be broken again :(

Why does it show 2 cards? :O

So I need # xrandr -s 0 to recover a little and get:

In Display Preferences I can see now two monitors for any reason. One is shown as Goldstar Company Ltd 19" (I have a Flatron 19" but it worked fine before update recognized as Goldstar). The second one is shown as Unknown - I do not have the second monitor. :-O BTW, I tried to create manual xorg.conf with different settings and that only helped to bring gdm login screen to 1440x900_60.00.

I tried also xrandr newmode option to add 1440x900_75.00, but it did not worked.

Thank you for any help and suggestions. Maybe this will help Fedora developers fix what was working for a moment in F12 ;)
Kindest regards,
