If you do, see what this says. I didn't, but I do now. After trying (and failing) to run it on the console, I tried in X-Windows (the display of which is miserably unstable at the moment). > xrandr --listmonitors > This is mine: > root@Gentoo-1 / # xrandr --listmonitors > Monitors: 3 > 0: +*DP-2 1920/698x1080/393+0+1080 DP-2 > 1: +DP-1 1920/698x1080/393+0+0 DP-1 > 2: +DP-7 1920/1150x1080/650+1920+1080 DP-7 > root@Gentoo-1 / # That's one tremendous monitor you've got on DP-7. :-) I've got just the one monitor.

It's something having got wedged in the motherboard's firmware, seeing as how the blank strip appears even when going into the BIOS. I suspect I'm going to have to reinitialise the CMOS ram, which I really don't want to do, though Michael doesn't think that's the problem. We'll see. > Dale > :-) :-) -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany).
