Hardware that provides bad EDID clearly is.
I am aware of that. So why does Mageia, and several other distributions, find the same three different monitors. One CRT and two LEDs. Mageia finds they all and the latest LED by name and model but all three as 'Generic' have the proper settings. *AND' Mageia's system configuration utility lists them by name and model. All selectible and configurable. I mentioned system-config-display being able to fix this in Fedora. The Fedora Wizards killed it. I have mentioned this problem before and the usual responses are silence or 'your stuff is broken and we are right'. I have tried to be nice and polite. But IMHO? Fedora's 'stuff' is broken. -- David -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
