If yours is not being read correctly it dumbs down to one that does work. IIRC, you can put a line similar to this in the monitor section of xorg.conf to override the automatic config of the monitor OPTION "noddc" "1" Which tells xorg to ignore the scanned values and to use the specified ones instead. You should also file a bug for info with the xorg site so they can get more info from those monitors that are not currently scanned correctly and update the X server properly. > thanks, > s.c. > -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
