Have you tried downloading the EDID from the monitor so it can be loaded as firmware from disk, so the response speed of the monitor isn't a factor?  I had to do that once for a similar reason, but it was so many years ago I don't actually remember the details - in fact it might have been a

I booted the rig up and decided to try something.  Once it was booted, I logged in from my main rig via ssh.  I then typed in the command to start DM.  It started and looked OK.  Then I just up arrow and changed it to restart the DM.  I restarted DM back to back several times, more than a dozen.

Top posting for consistency. I booted the Gentoo GUI media.  I opened a window just in case it rebooted or something while I took a little nap.  The resolution is 1080P which is what I expected the monitor to run at.  When I got back up a few minutes ago, the same window was there.  It ran for
