This one is very interesting.I relocated my LCD monitor whose native resolution is 1920x1080. The video card is NV GTX 285, that outputs through a DVI port. The monitor has both a DVI and a D-SUB VGA plugs.
With either the standard DVI cable, or a standard VGA cable hooked up through a DVI-VGA adapter, everything works fine.
After I relocated the monitor, and attached a 35' long VGA cable via the DVI-VGA adapter, the X desktop, and only the X desktop, now comes up with an ugly maximum resolution of 1024x768. system-config-display gives me that as the max available resolution.
But here's the WTF:At system boot, plymouth comes up without any issues at 1920x1080, spinning the solar theme over the VGA cable. But as soon as plymouth finishes its thing, and X takes over, X refuses to go beyond 1024x768. However, if I flip to an alternative ALT-VTx, the alternative system console display runs at 1920x1080. Only X is having a cow here.

I tried mucking around with xorg.conf (and experience flashbacks to the good ol' days). The results were …an "obvious" dead end.
I do have an extra-long DVI cable on order, hopefully this'll fix it. May be, may be not.
