I don't think he wants to ignore EDID, but simply have a more reasonable fall-back when EDID isn't available (such as when the monitor is powered off). I'm not sure how to do a fallback either, but in the past I've solved this problem by running X once, determining the mode X would chose when the monitor is on and then add the appropriate settings to the Display and/or Screen xorg.conf sections. In the past I've patched up the following (see man xorg.conf for the gory details): HorizSync VertRefresh DisplaySize Mode / Modeline -wolfgang -- Wolfgang S.

locking down Xorg resolution
Since F7, I have been unable to simply do a graphical boot with my monitor off. Whenever the monitor is off, xorg ignores /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and chooses its own incorrect resolution. How do I lock this down so that I do not need to turn on my monitor before every boot? The solution on such a "bad" boot is generally to restart X using Ctrl+Alt+Backspace -- Fedora 9 : sulphur is good for the skin ( www.pembo13.com ) -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
