I need to swap monitors as the backlight in my old Dell monitor grows
dim. I have a Viewsonic vx2035WM that Fedora can never get the
resolution right for. I've gone through the following process using
information I found on Google.
[root@box7 bobg]# cvt 1680 1050
# 1680x1050 59.95 Hz (CVT 1.76MA) hsync: 65.29 kHz; pclk: 146.25 MHz
Modeline "1680x1050_60.00" 146.25 1680 1784 1960 2240 1050 1053 1059
1089 -hsync +vsync
[root@box7 bobg]# xrandr --newmode "1680x1050_60.00" 146.25 1680 1784
1960 2240 1050 1053 1059 1089 -hsync +vsync
[root@box7 bobg]# xrandr --addmode VGA1 1680x1050_60.00
[root@box7 bobg]# xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1680x1050_60.00
Which produces a working Modeline and display. Now it appears I need a
working xorg.conf display section so it will survive rebooting.
When I do, again from Google:
Xorg :1 -configure
The display crashes and says "Starting Terminate Plymouth Boot Screen"
Does anyone have an example of a working config file that I can use?
Bob
