I doubt it is using DVI cables directly causing the problem. I have seen issues for dual port cards falling back to the VGA port on the card because a monitor wasn't doing EDID and it thought there wasn't a monitor attached to the DVI port. But it's a pretty old monitor. Anything relatively recent should be doing proper EDID. You could look at Xorg.0.log and see what is being detected. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
