Getting X to pay attention to a custom setting has become increasingly difficult. They ignored EDID monitor info for 20 years, then instantly transitioned to ignoring user specified settings. I waged a battle several releases ago documented here: http://home.att.net/~Tom.Horsley/easy-linux.html I doubt any of the specific things I found will help, but perhaps the general technique will work: Look at the xorg log file for the message that says why it ignored your setting, then look through the source of the X server and driver for your video card to see where it prints that message and if there is some setting you can change in xorg.conf to make it get farther. Iterate till success or you throw yourself off a high building :-). Or if you really want to perform a service for the linux community, you could travel the incredibly steep learning curve on EDID and xorg software and provide a new module for X that lets you plug in custom EDID info to override the stuff it tries to get from the monitor (shouldn't take more the 3 or 4 years to come up to speed...) -- 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
