           Summary: Resolution of video output is different from screen
                    resolution
           Product: xorg
           Version: 6.8.1
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Server/general
        AssignedTo: xorg-bugzilla-noise at freedesktop.org

I am trying to use a laptop with a data projector.  The laptop has its
resolution set to 1280x1024.  However, I am unable to get the projected
resolution any higher than 640x480.  It depends on the projector that I use.  A
small portable projector, if plugged in and turned on before booting the laptop,
gives the correct resolution.  However, with all other external projectors I
have tried, I get the same low 640x480 resolution.

I have tried playing with the xorg.conf file.  I will attach a version which I
have tried in the given form and with the commented lines uncommented, but
neither work.

I am using Fedora FC2.
