Hi;
In F8 at first startup I had to text into my xorg.conf and change it
to
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
ModelName "Monitor 1280x1024"
HorizSync 31.5 - 79.0
VertRefresh 50.0 - 90.0
Option "dpms"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Option "SWCursor" "True"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "nv"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "1600x1200" "1440x900" "1400x1050" "1360x768" "1280x1024"
"1280x960" "1280x800" "1280x768" "1280x720" "1152x864" "1152x768"
"1024x768" "832x624" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480" "640x400" "640x350"
or else I got an 880x600 screen layout with no mouse cursor.
After changing the xorg.conf and rebooting the 1280x1024 screen was
usable to re-setup up my working environment and to do do the upgrades.
Eventually I could replace the 'nv' driver with 'nvidia' and was good to
go.
What has been peoples experience with F9? Should I just automatically
go to a manual text display setup and make the changes in xorg.conf or
does F9 now start with a usable screen and mouse cursor?
(I am printing out a hard copy of my working xorg.conf just in case.)
