Fedora 13 & screen resolution

Hi All,

I just installed Fedora 13 on my home system.

Previously I had Fedora 11 running there (and 13 on my laptop for quite some
time now).

My H/W configuration:

	Shuttle, with Intel i915 chipset
	Monitor: Dell P1110

Both F-11 and F-13 detect and use the intel x11 driver, and monitor.

I use the same xorg.conf on both systems (in /etc/X11/xorg.conf)

F-11 will give me 1600x1200 resolution, F-13 will only give me 1024x768

I've checked the Xorg.0.log -- it almost looks like F-13 is NOT looking at my
xorg.conf file (where I specify the resolutions in my Screen section). When it
comes to the mode lines, it is not seeing anything above 1024x768

I'm at a loss as to what to look for, or how to fix this.

I should mention ...

If I I take the modeline info from the F-11 Xorg.0.log, generated the equivalent
Modelines, put them into my xorg.conf, and X will quite happily display at
1600x1200. But system-config-display will not let me select above 1024x768, and
also X will not rotate between the various modes (control-shift-+) even though
all the modelines are in my new xorg.conf.

Any thoughts / suggestions / urls ?

Many thanks in advance, and all the best,

-Greg Hosler
