Xconfigurator got it right (with a minor change myself), and nothing I set in the installation saved. Hence, my complaining about the installer. As a side note XF86Setup doesn't work either, which I agree, has nothing to do with the installer. How, by these programs not doign their job, make it my hardware's fault? I was under the impression when I selected "1600x1200x16" in a setup program, that is what would be written to the XF86Config file, only to find out later that modelines for 640x480 only were written. My gripe being that the settings don't seem to take. As another side note, the most stable and seemingly functional OS I've ever run was RedHat 5.2, now with the newer versions I am seeing more people complaining about missing functionality, programs not doing quite what they are suppose to and other things. I am curios to know, from RedHat, if now with the IPO if there is much more of a push to get fixes and features out the door? Or do you still set your own time line?
