Hi, I've been looking at this for some time in both the archives of the list and the web in general. The problem is that when my Fedora 12 machine is connected though the KVM (Apex Outlook 8 port) the monitor shows up as "Unknown" and the resolution is limited to 800x600. If I plug the monitor directly into the machine, it resolves just fine and I have the full range of resolutions. I tried an number of things so far and the one which seemed most promising was to plug the monitor directly into the machine and go to run level 3. I then ran "xorg -configure" which created /root/xorg.conf.new (I may be remembering the syntax of the command incorrectly). I copied that to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and uncommented the NoDDC option with the syntax: Option "NoDDC" "True" Unfortunately the results are unchanged. The Xorg.0.log appears to show that the xorg.conf file is being read, but it goes out and probes the monitor anyway. http://www.styma.org/xorg.conf http://www.styma.org/Xorg.0.log I have put the xorg.conf file and Xorg.0.log out at my web site in the hope someone can give me a pointer on how to make X use what I tell it in the xorg.conf file and not do the probes itself. Note that my Fedora 6 machine, Redhat 9 machine, sparc 20, and assorted Windows machines work fine. I appreciate any time and help which can be offered.
