I recently "upgraded" my laptop from Fedora 8 to Fedora 9. As always, I backed up the old system and started from reformatted drives. I never upgrade my OS in place. This is on my Dell Latitude D820 with a 15.4 inch 1680x1050 screen, using the proprietary Nvidia driver. I've had quite a few problems with F9. I don't know how much of my pain is coming from KDE4 being fresh out of the oven, and how much of it is F9 itself. When I was running F8, I was able to sucessfully hook up the external video port to my Sony Bravia TV's PC port. It does 1380x768. This is essential functionality for me, so I can watch MythTV on the TV while using my internal screen for email/web/etc. I used separate Xs, not TwinView or Xinerama (I experimented with those, but windows would launch on the TV when it wasn't hooked up, so I couldn't get to them). And all was right in the world After I loaded F9, I'm not able to get the TV to display anything. I see a crosshatch pattern over the screen, and if I move the mouse to that screen, I see the cursor, but I can't right click or left click. The logs are below. I even tried the exact xorg.conf from F8, and that didn't work either. I wrote up a summary of the problem at http://www.thekramers.net/tmp/xproblem/ and I also include all the config and log files on that page. Please let me know if you know what's wrong.
