FC12-x86_64/KDE
How can I lock in the 1024x768 resolution in xorg.conf ?
The Option PreferredMode is Ignored , checking in Xorg-0-log.
If I put in Modes "1024x768" it gets changed everytime I reboot.
I'm using the Nvidia driver.
Can't use the nouveau driver, the mouse disappears when waking the computer up after about a half hour of sleep, then I have to restart computer to get mouse to reappear.

What about SYSTEM->PREFERENCES->DISPLAY

What is that ? In KDE there is no system >preferences>display is that a package or a app. part of a package ?

Try this: Settings ->System Settings ->Display

Thanks, That works while in your desktop, you can change to the the Resolution you want.
BUT!! ,if I restart computer then the settings in xorg.conf controls the resolution, and no matter what settings you put in xorg.conf, some thing is changing xorg.conf and the resolution goes back up to a higher resolution setting.
I think the System Settings > Display is for the Nouveau, and I can't use that driver on my GeForce 8400GS or Geforce 6150LE when it goes into a sleep mode for a half hour, then I wake it up, the mouse has disappeared, and I have to restart computer to get mouse working again.
So I'm stuck using the "nvidia" driver and xorg.conf.
Jim you have sent the list 2 emails which I think are related. If you are having trouble with Nouveau like you mention I think first of all you should try yo disable it any way you can like suggested in the mail about Blacklisting Nouveau including the initrd part and then try to change the resolution

I have got Nouveau blacklisted and now using Nvidia.
If I can get the settings in xorg.conf from changing everytime it restarts computer.

The setting should not change, unless something is changing the file, which could be Nouveau or something else, maybe try to see inside the logs of the xserver
also try
nvidia-settings and nvidia-xconfig from the command prompt back up xorg.conf before

Noveau is not changing the xorg.conf, it is hal or something like that in Fedora.
I wished they would get the problem fixed with Nouveau, the disappearing mouse.
Then I could use xrandr in the user home, as a KDE Autoexec script.
Example;
#!/bin/bash
xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 1024x768

Nothing should be changing xorg.conf just out of the blue. And the settings in there should be honored by X.
Couple of stupid questions: are you sure that you have saved your changes to the file after editing? Are you sure you are editing the right file?
Maybe it is a ownership/permissions problem. Post the output of
ls -l /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Also, maybe there is some error in the file itself, and X falls back to autoconfiguring. Post the output of
cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Maybe for some odd reason the xorg.conf file is not being used at all. Post the output of
cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log
With all this info I guess we'll have a better idea on what is going on.
HTH, :-) Marko
