Yesterday I replaced the video card and monitor. Now there's a Radeon Pro
WX-2100 video card and an Acer SB-220Q monitor.
The video card has a fixed refresh rater of 60Hz. The monitor accepts a
refresh rate up to 75Hz.
The monitor's highest resolution is 1920x1080 dpi. I set this resolution in
X
Do you have your old monitor defined in your xorg.conf file?

Jason,
I don't have an xorg.conf, only:
$ locate xorg.conf
/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d
/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-quirks.conf
/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf
/usr/share/X11/xo
I thought current X queried the monitor and only relied on resolutions and
frequencies defined in the configuration file
If it could not get usable data from the monitor.
What is the output of xrandr
There is also this program:

No. This will bugger up Slackwar
There's supposed to be a list somewhere on the xorg website of compatibility
but I'll admit finding out hard data can be tricky at times.
When x starts it checks for a compatible driver so if the amdgpu driver won't
work with your card, when X runs it will skip it if it's not and revert to the

I thought the driver is what did the DPMS queries so if those are wrong due to
some protocol screwup then I think it is likely a driver bug. And yes it can
(usually) be overridden by an xorg config file. It's been a long time since I
had to screw with any of that stuff but back in the bad old

To all:
The discussion concerning getting a monitor firmware code correct brings
up an interesting question:
I just ran lspci on my system (under root privileges) and got quite a
long list:
How do I assure that the CPU and drivers for the controllers are
correctly matched to the hardware?
lspci -k
If the name of a given device looks odd, check the date of your hwdata package.

I hadn't looked for that. Thank you.
The issue is NOT the driver or Xorg, but monitor and GPU EDID and DPMS

If they're not correctly matched those devices either won't be recognize,
they'll be listed as "unknown" in the lspci output or they won't work.
