If it's Fedora, let me know what more data to supply, please! First off, my apologies for delay and my copious thanks to both! Getting back to this, I find a little, but not much, in the way of Xorg.conf files, all in /etc/X11; but there's a whole lot (according to the 'search for files' button on the panel) of names containing "wayland," most of them linuxxy-looking. Wikipedia also lists Fedora 25+ as an early adopter. (I'm running F 27 on all three machines.) Otoh, both 'rpm -q' and 'dnf install' disavow all acquaintance with wayland or Wayland. What I know of Wayland would go in a gnat's eye. Neither 'man wayland' nor 'info wayland' is any help -- and the Wikipedia article is daunting, to put it mildly. lshw got nothing. I installed hwinfo, and tried "hwinfo|most" by itself [Good goddlemityDAMN!], and piped to grep with various search terms. I think the monitor is a Dell P2311H (Wpedia didn't find that, but it's what I think I see flash by during boot messages), and I'm pretty sure the display is 1920x1080. The entry for that under EDID at kernel.org is /* EDID */ #define VERSION 1 #define REVISION 3 /* Display */ #define CLOCK 148500 /* kHz */ #define XPIX 1920 #define YPIX 1080 #define XY_RATIO XY_RATIO_16_9 #define XBLANK 280 #define YBLANK 45 #define XOFFSET 88 #define XPULSE 44 #define YOFFSET (63+4) #define YPULSE (63+5) #define DPI 96 #define VFREQ 60 /* Hz */ #define TIMING_NAME "Linux FHD" /* No ESTABLISHED_TIMINGx_BITS */ #define HSYNC_POL 1 #define VSYNC_POL 1 #define CRC 0x05 #include "edid.S" but that's as far as I've gotten. I'm hoping someone here will tell me there's a file on each PC that I can just paste the above into: most of it is Geek to me. I found the Wayland developers' list on Gmane, but that's way to Helen Gone over my head. I did not find a users' list. -- Beartooth Staffwright, Not Quite Clueless Power User Remember I know little (precious little!) of where up is. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
