I did update the hwdata MonitorsDB database file in August 2009 to include these lines: Dell; Dell E2210H(Analog); DELD030; 30.0-83.0; 50.0-76.0; 1 Dell; Dell E2210H(Digital); DELD031; 30.0-83.0; 50.0-76.0; 1 On FC2 I couldn't begin to tell you where the MonitorsDB file is though... Thanks, Matt P.S.: I do periodically grab all the Windows *.inf files for all Dell monitors, as published on support.dell.com, and update the MonitorsDB file in the hwdata package with them. On any newish Linux version though, this data is extracted from talking to the monitor directly, rather than looked up in the MonitorsDB file. The Windows .inf format for monitors is fairly limited in terms of describing the various modes, and in particular, native resolution, of a given LCD; the Linux MonitorsDB format even more so. Much better to use a newer version of Xorg that can do the ECC directly. -- Matt Domsch Technology Strategist Dell | Office of the CTO -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
