X pays no attention to xorg.conf most of the time these days. What does work is getting the EDID from the monitor and stashing it in a firmware directory where you can use it to force the kernel to override EDID any time anyone asks about it. Get edid from currently connected monitor: monitor-get-edid > /lib/firmware/edid.bin Stick this on kernel options in grub config file: drm_kms_helper.edid_firmware=edid.bin Now the dadgum kernel will boot with the edid for the monitor even if it isn't connected at boot time. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
