Well I'm no expert, but to me it seems like you're getting signal/data loss over that length of cable. KMS probably detects resolutions differently to X and might not need lots of EDID information. If you plug in a shorter cable, I'm guessing it will work fine, even at the new location. The higher the resolution, the shorter your cable must be to carry enough signal. If it is causing the issue, and you need the longer cable, you might want to think about a booster. Having said that, you might be able to craft your own xorg.conf which manually specifies all your modelines, etc, and turns off EDID - to do this, plug a shorter cable back in, start X and grab the log file with all the correctly detected settings. Use this info to craft your own xorg.conf. Anyway, just a thought or two. -c -- 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
