I have an old Dell PowerEdge SC1420, which ceased to be a server or to have any form of RAID years ago, when I inherited it. Over the years, I've run many releases of Fedora on it, one or two of CentOS, and I disremember what all else. Some OSs figure out my HP w2207h monitor on contact, even from behind the KVM switch where I normally keep the SC1420; the last few Fedora releases have been good about that, iirc. Some OSs don't find out how to display anything while behind the switch, but do if I shut everything down and connect the Dell directly and alone to the peripherals. Some OSs never get it; I have had to tinker endlessly with xorg.conf a/o grub.conf. But now F21 doesn't get it, and I can't seem to find a file that will let me tell it there is such a thing as a 27" 1680x1050 terminal. (The only plausible candidates so far open with DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE, and a reference to the other files that set them; but I'm drawing a blank about any way to reset the setting files.) I can ssh into it, and have been updating it regularly; a few days ago it even accepted a fedup (nonproduct). Also, for a little while today, I had a Gnome3 display; I managed to open a Mate-terminal; but before I could get to a panel, much less a workspace switcher (one of my must-haves), it suddenly jumped into a display that looked like a few lines torn from the normal boot messages. I couldn't faze that, and finally hit Ctrl-Alt-Del. That got me to a normal looking boot, except for one "FAILED," which went by too fast to read. Then, for a little while, it went back to the Gnome3 screen, in which I had begun adding and removing apps. It didn't want to start yumex as root *nor* as user; so I told it "yum remove evolution," thinking it would keep the data-server, or whatever that thing is that stays when I remove Evolution with Yumex. It didn't, and chaos ensued -- till it hit the abominable error message from the monitor, saying "Input out of range."
