Oops, forgot. i686 PIV 2.8Ghz 1G Ram, ATI x1300 AGP card.
Ok, have helped narrow down at least, when it will work and when it
wont.
1 - Currently with F8 + updates (but using kernel-2.6.23.9-85.fc8), my
system (most specifically X) works just fine, to include the proper
resolution.
2 - Update to *any* .13 kernel, and my monitor nor keyboard does not,
with it's *current* setup.
3 - Now, currently because the kernel and drivers and so forth work
correctly, they pick up my video card and monitor ID"s just fine, and
currently work without an xorg.conf file.
4 - If I go through s-c-d and just accept what is there and hit OK, one
gets created. Ok, system still works just fine.
5 - So now I boot using the updated .13-x kernels, and X works this
time, *BUT* I don't get the proper screen resolution. So it's like not
accepting some ID's or not detecting my hardware properly. And I can't
select my resolution because it's not offered, like only generic ones
are at this point.
6 - To help explain it further, if I was to remove my xorg.conf file
totoally, let it boot a .13 kernel, then the screen goes gibberish when
starting X, so it did*not* detect the hardware properly.
7 - Boot with the current .9 kernels and it finds hardware )it all uses
vesa driver currently) and lets X start and using proper resolution.
Soo, upon saying all that, .9 kernels detect hardware correctly and
works, .13-x kernels don't. .9 Kernels give me my proper resolutions
and such, .13-x kernels don't.
Hope that helps and guess unless a kernel maintainer chimes in or one is
already created, I'll see about posting bug report after work today.
