[olug] yum install system-config-display; su -c "system-config-display"; reboot;

[Rob Townley]

i have multiple machines hooked to secondary KVMs so who knows how
well the LCD video display data channel info goes through the KVMs and
back to the VGA interface card.  Sometimes, after a fresh install,
800x600 is the max resolution allowed, but the 19" Display does
1280x1024.

It is a common problem for both Ubuntu and Fedora and was annoyed how
long it took for me to resolve.  It is the "Display is not optimal but
i can't find the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file", problem.  Hoping this 45
second solution saves time for someone else.  On Ubuntu, i understand
a solution is to run xrandr, but i did not have luck adding 1280x1024
using xrandr.


 su -c root;  #bait
 yum install system-config-display;
 system-config-display;  #Set to 1280x1024
 reboot;  #or restart X

p.s.  Really wondering why system-config-display is not installed by
default unless it is rs232 only?
