Just for my curiosity how do I tell that it's not using the i915 driver at all? 'hwinfo gfx' reports the driver info as "i915 is active", lsmod shows i915 loaded and nothing about fbdev. 2. Regardless of whatever driver is being used, this bug is that I can't switch display resolution. This is a completely stock install, I did not change any video settings in the install and have not installed any additional rpms. I can certainly change to the summary to "Can't switch display resolution using whatever driver the system installed" -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I guess you've added 'nomodeset' as kernel boot option. No.

In that case KMS gets disabled and X falls back to fbdev driver. Please attach /var/log/Xorg.0.log

That is attached in comment #1. Do you mean Xorg.0.log.old? I will attach that.

and the output of 'cat /proc/cmdline'.

Somewhere below /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d there must be a file where it's specified to use fbdev instead of intel driver.
