using intel driver in Xorg.conf with an updated x86_64 fc7 where screen/monitor/device are configured as: Section "Monitor" Identifier "1706FP" HorizSync 30.0 - 81.0 VertRefresh 56.0 - 76.0 EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard0" Driver "intel" # Driver "i810" Option "AperTexSize" "65536" Option "PageFlip" "true" Option "TripleBuffer" "true" # Option "AccelMethod" "EXA" EndSection Section "Screen" # Monitor "1706FP" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Videocard0" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 EndSubSection EndSection I get 1280x1024 mode but the top and bottom panel seem to understand they are in as 1024x768 one...: both are shorter than the whole horizontal lenght of the screen and the bottom one is not at bottom of the screen but 1/5 above of it The applications behave correctly in the sense that they use the whole screen whne maximized / moved...

Sometimes I need to go with init 3 / init 5 .... Any news on this side? Any way to contribute debugging? Is this problem the same for i386 or is it an x86_64 specific one? Any bug numbers already opened to fill with further information?
