Personally, i am unclear why you put so much effort into what
was already observed to be an ancient os version? are you  making grade
points for maintaining bitrot? :-P

you knock yourself out to fix such a small issues only to find may others may lurk.

more current FC version will undoubted work better.

you might get a different set of problems, but at least with current sw,
others are currently fighting those issues so you might get more helpful responses.

you are aware the entire Linux X world has been redone in recent years?

We are trying to attach a Dell E2210H monitor to a Dell X260 Optiplex

I have found the drivers for Windows but not for Fedora.  Where can I
access monitor drivers for Fedora?
      
With respect FC2 is very old indeed and you would be better off
installing an up to date version of Fedora which will likely have a
much better chance of driving your monitor - the current drivers will
be much more likely to work with your monitor directly from a more
recent install of Fedora.

Any reason you can't install F12?
    

  

Nowhere. Monitor drivers don't exist. The .ini file for Windows
isn't a driver either, just a configuration file that contains
info about the sync frequencies supported by the monitor.

Normally the data about monitor properties is read directly from
the monitor through the DDC protocol. What problems are you
having with the monitor?
    
I got the screen to work with the system by editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf  
changing the Horizontal rates, the size of the screen and the Modes  
for the screen.  Unfortunately the display does not fit the monitor's  
size,  too tall and not wide enough.  I did play with the dimensions  
of the screen.

There may not be drivers for the monitors, but the various systems  
have a knowledge of a list of monitors.  The E2210H Dell is not listed  
on the F2 system.  That would be a good reason for an upgrade.  I will  
see if I can pull the system offline for an upgrade.

I don't understand why the Mode entry  in /etc/X11/xorg.conf does not  
seem to have  any relationship to the Modes shown in the System/ 
Display gui.  I coded in 1920x1080 in xorg.conf.  The Display gui  
shows 1024xsomething and 1280x960.  Why?
