However, my monitor is not that old, it is Mitsubishi 21" CRT and it is detected just fine when I plug it right into the computer. When I run it through the KVM switch, something gets lost and The monitor is not detected correctly. If I plug the monitor indirectly, boot the machine, and then put the cables back in the KVM, it is fine until the next reboot. I have tried various tricks to capture the Xorg.conf file >From the direct plug in and then put them back. There were also various options suggested for FC12 to disable some of the monitor scanning, but they were ineffective. My desire now is to find the detected EDID and hardcode it as a kernel parameter as was suggested when the thread first started. PS. I do appreciate your time Bruno. -- 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
