I am not an expert. But this sounds like a faulty EDID, or path to read the EDID. Fedora / linux reads the information about the monitor directly from the monitor itself. I think this can be overridden by putting a configuration file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ with the information needed. A search should turn up samples. Is it possible that you already have an override file there, for a 22" Goldstar monitor? Or that the connection to the LG is flaky, so the EDID can't be read properly? I vaguely recall that it is possible to dump the EDID into a file, and point to it in the kernel start line somehow. Could be a faulty memory, though. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
