This is 915resolution from dag repository. Maybe this one is broken with SL47. And the syntax of /etc/sysconfig/915resolution may differ. The SL47 915resolution can be found here: ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/47/i386/SL/RPMS/915resolution-0.5.3-5.sl4.i386.rpm I don't know why this is not installed on your system. I have: # rpm -q 915resolution 915resolution-0.5.3-5.sl4 # chkconfig 915resolution on # chkconfig --list 915resolution 915resolution 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off Maybe "yum update" does an update to 915resolution-0.5.3-5.sl4? > What I have done as a work around is to change /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit and > added these lines: > > # Hack at end for using 915resolution > echo "overriding VESA BIOS resolutions" > /usr/sbin/915resolution 3a 1440 900 > > Of course, if initscripts package changes I have remember what I have > done and change the > file again. I would suggest to put this lines in /etc/rc.local which will be not overwritten by an update. Urs
