Of course. The very next time that I reboot to test out a small kernel option change, gdm comes up with no problems. <br>
<br>
In terms of helping me fix a problem, feel free to ignore this letter. <br>
<br>
But I still wonder if this is a bug that I should report?<br>

I just installed <span id="st" name="st" class="st0">breezy</span> using the <span id="st" name="st" class="st0">breezy</span> preview CD.
A full installation report fo the laptop testing team will follow, but
currently I'm struggling with a problem that I haven't been able to
solve. I'm installing onto my laptop which has an ATI x700
card. <span id="st" name="st" class="st0">Breezy</span> did a better job at detecting the hardware than
hoary did, but I still had to tweak a few things. I
upgraded to the latest packages available, then I installed the fglrx
Xorg and Kernel module. Rebooted to use the appopriate kernel,
and loaded the fglrx kernel module. I then ran fglrxconfig so
that I could swith the primary display back to the LCD (Which is a bug
report that I'll be filing in a few minutes). I
edited the fglrxconfig to have the correct resolution (1680x1050)
specified. <br>
<br>
But when I start gdm, it starts with only 1280x1024 resolution,
completely ignoring the stuff that I have in the xorg.conf.
However, if I kill gdm, and then just use startx, it uses the
appropriate resolution. In fact I've scoured the logs at
/var/log/Xorg.0.log for any information that might let me know what is
misconfigured, but I can't find anything that let's me know what's
wrong. <br>
<br>
The thing that surprises me the most is that the detected modes listed
in the Xorg.log are different when I start gdm as they don't include
the 1680x1050 resolution, but this is included in the Xorg.log when
using startx.<br>
<br>
These are links to copies of my Xorg logs, first the one produced by GDM which isn't working correctly:<br>

<br>
Second, the one produced when I run startx manually:<br>

<br>
<br>
Should I file this as a bug or is there a known fix?<br>
<br>
Thanks for the help in advance.<br><span class="sg">
