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).

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."
Clue, please?
To get F21 to recognize your monitor you could put a file with the same
monitor device sections that you normally put in xorg.conf into
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d. That directory is where xorg reads it
configuration files from these days.
That file does exist (to my surprise; dunno how I missed it). But
it contains only a config file for the keyboard. There isn't any for the
monitor at all.
If one existed, I could use it as a template for the format, just
adding my "1680x1050" in its field, and anything else obvious elsewhere.
But I remember only that the monitor file (or files; sometimes
there was one that demanded "Monitor0," apart from the one with the
numbers.
You may still have to put the mode
statements in there to get the right resolutions for your monitor. I'm
not sure if the man entry on xorg.conf still has details on how to
specify the information, its been quite some time since I've had to play
around with those.
I didn't know man pages could exist for names as well as
commands. I'll go study that. Many many thanks!
I've attached an old xorg.conf file of mine. If you take the "Screen",
"Monitor" and possibly "ServerLayout" from that file and put them in
separate files or a single file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d xorg will read
those and configure itself accordingly. You will have the change the
horizsync and vertrefresh parameters to values for your monitor.

Steve
