First off, my apologies for delay and my copious thanks to both!
Getting back to this, I find a little, but not much, in the way
of Xorg.conf files, all in /etc/X11; but there's a whole lot (according
to the 'search for files' button on the panel) of names containing
"wayland," most of them linuxxy-looking. Wikipedia also lists Fedora 25+
as an early adopter. (I'm running F 27 on all three machines.)
Otoh, both 'rpm -q' and 'dnf install' disavow all acquaintance
with wayland or Wayland.
What I know of Wayland would go in a gnat's eye. Neither 'man
wayland' nor 'info wayland' is any help -- and the Wikipedia article is
daunting, to put it mildly.
lshw got nothing. I installed hwinfo, and tried "hwinfo|most" by
itself [Good goddlemityDAMN!], and piped to grep with various search
terms. I think the monitor is a Dell P2311H (Wpedia didn't find that, but
it's what I think I see flash by during boot messages), and I'm pretty
sure the display is 1920x1080. The entry for that under EDID at
kernel.org is
/* EDID */
#define VERSION 1
#define REVISION 3
/* Display */
#define CLOCK 148500 /* kHz */
#define XPIX 1920
#define YPIX 1080
#define XY_RATIO XY_RATIO_16_9
#define XBLANK 280
#define YBLANK 45
#define XOFFSET 88
#define XPULSE 44
#define YOFFSET (63+4)
#define YPULSE (63+5)
#define DPI 96
#define VFREQ 60 /* Hz */
#define TIMING_NAME "Linux FHD"
/* No ESTABLISHED_TIMINGx_BITS */
#define HSYNC_POL 1
#define VSYNC_POL 1
#define CRC 0x05
#include "edid.S"
but that's as far as I've gotten. I'm hoping someone here will tell me
there's a file on each PC that I can just paste the above into: most of
it is Geek to me.
I found the Wayland developers' list on Gmane, but that's way to
Helen Gone over my head. I did not find a users' list.
