You *might* want to play with the DDC option in your xorg.conf, to stop it probing your hardware for settings, so it just uses what you, configure yourself. e.g. Option "DDC" "off" You can try reading the man files for your graphics chipset, e.g. "man i810" (substituting whatever yours actually is), but I've found that some of the options mentioned in these man files were completely ignored. -- (This computer runs FC7, my others run FC4, FC5 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread.) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
