Damn,
My excitement was so short lived.... Yes, creating monitor sections in the xorg.conf.d directory does get read by the drivers -- certain items are still ignored. My 10-monitor.conf file has two monitor section (btw: doing this from memory as I am now at work). One for the VGA screen, which I am using, and one for LVDS, which I am not. The LVDS monitor section just has an option to have it ignored and that work perfectly (doesn't even show up when I use xrandr). The VGA section has Vertical Refresh rate defined, a couple of modelines I created with CVT, and a preferred resolution option. By default X starts up my screen at 1024x768. If I set the preferred option to a *known* resolution, that resolution is now set when X starts (yeah). However, *known* resolutions are ones X finds itself and modelines that fit into default parmaters defined by X. Remember, my monitor doesn't provide EDID and/or DDC info. What about the option for Vertical Refresh? X logs don't show anything about that line -- at all. There is a section of the log that goes through the options from the monitor section, including the modelines (this is where it will say the resolution is being ignored because of what ever reason). The Vertical Refresh rate line isn't shown; no error message, no warning message, and nothing stating what refresh rates it is using. BTW: some of the modelines were ignored due to Horizontal Sync, which CVT doesn't seem to have a way to account for. So the xrandr option maybe the only way to go to get what ever resolution you actually need. Or did I still miss something?
