Well, it's good to know it can be done -- already. I had a
problem with an LCD monitor on my first install of FC1, so bad that I
eventually went back to RH9 until the developers got to that monitor.

Unfortunately, I know nothing whatever of those terminals. I just
keep a gnome-terminal on workspace #1, with half a dozen tabs open, and
do everything CLI from there -- unless I want to use the machine I'm on
to work on another. But even then, all I do is put another gnome-
terminal, with different background colors, on a different workspace.
I *have* seen this monitor give me an impaired view just long
enough to let me log in, and then put itself relentlessly to sleep; and I
have not found any way to overcome that. I'd also be glad to know if
there is one -- maybe ssh into the machine from a better-adjusted one,
become root, and edit xorg.conf; but I've tried that a couple times
without success ....
Btw, with that spelling, are you related to our family friend Kay
Rodgers, formerly of LC?
