Public bug reported:
#1 Um.. how do I describe this.. let me see OMG IT WONT WORK HELP HELP
HELP!!!
#2 Cause : LCD monitor running via VGA cable does not provide correct
EDID info.
#3 Result: Device refresh rates from full-screen programs like FretsOnFire can
exceed
Monitor refresh rates causing a "INPUT SIGNAL OUT OF RANGE" error.
#4 Exceptions to issue : Gnome loads fine. Compiz works fine. Non Full-Screen
programs work fine.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This issue is not card specific. This issue is not distro specific. This issue
is not xorg specific.
Numerous attempts to configure xorg have only resulted in FAIL.
These include manual setting of parameters including MODELINE and scripted
configurations.
Do not attempt to SAGE this issue on the grounds of driver or xorg settings.
#4 is my defense.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The only plausible fix I can come up with, in the event nobody else proposes
one, is a script that
makes all programs comply with xorg set refresh rates and resolutions. This may
be undesirable
as some programs use custom resolutions, and this would cause graphical
glitches, but this
would establish a STANDARD for entire systems at once. The one major benefit I
see from this:
Perceived as well as literal increased system stability.
