Re: LCD Monitors and Fedora

["Michael J. Pawlowsky" <mikep@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My KDS LCD will simply display an out of range error with the ranges it 
wanted and what was being delivered to it.
I then went into /etc/X11/xorg.conf and modified the config to match.

I had no choice to manually do all this because the GUI display manager 
really did not do a good job for setting up my TwinView (2 monitor 
setup) NVIDIA card. I simply would not start up X. ALso looking in 
/var/log/Xorg.0.log is a great place to see what's happening if you do 
have any problems.

Cheers,
Mike
