Fedora 9 features a number of changes designed to make X faster in starting and shutting down and to make other improvements. Full details of the project can be found through this feature page:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/OneSecondX.

The X.Org 1.4.99 X server has been modified to automatically detect and configure most hardware, eliminating the need to modify the /etc/X11/xorg.conf configuration file. The only hardware configured by default in the xorg.conf configuration file written by Anaconda is:

All other hardware, such as monitors (both LCD and CRT), USB mice, and touchpads, should be detected and configured automatically.

The X server queries the attached monitor for supported resolution ranges, and attempts to pick the highest resolution available with the correct aspect ratio for the display. Set the preferred resolution in System → Preferences → Screen Resolution, and the default resolution for the system in System → Administration → Display.

If the /etc/X11/xorg.conf configuration file is not present, X automatically detects the appropriate driver, and assumes a 105-key US keyboard layout.

Fedora 9 包含两种 Intel 集成图形控制器驱动:

The i810 driver is limited to resolutions available in the BIOS. For support for non-standard resolutions, such as those used in certain widescreen displays, use the intel driver. Switch drivers by running the system-config-display command, which is also available in the menu under System → Administration → Display.

We welcome feedback on the experimental intel driver. Please report success in Bugzilla, attaching the full output of the lspci -vn command for your machine. Given success reports, various chipsets may be switched to use the intel driver by default.

Refer to the Xorg third-party drivers page for detailed guidelines on using third-party video drivers.
