           Summary: Xorg having problems changing resolution
           Product: xorg
           Version: CVS_head
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Server/general
        AssignedTo: xorg-bugzilla-noise at freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: talbotscott at cox.net


After install of xorg-x11-6.7.99.902-4, X is having even more problems.  When I
change screen modes, I get a portion of the entire raster showing in the upper
left of my monitor.

The change is now, with kernels > kernel-2.6.8-1.524 and rhgb running, vga
screens show up the same way, i.e. changing to a console yields a "screen"
approximately 1/3 of full height of monitor, which shows 5 "columns" analogous
to the single left hand input of the console screen.

only fixes are to use kernel <= .524 (no good as there's no CD-Rom support,
remove rhgb from kernel args (no problem, but Red Hat might not like that!
