I've attached an old xorg.conf file of mine. If you take the "Screen", "Monitor" and possibly "ServerLayout" from that file and put them in separate files or a single file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d xorg will read those and configure itself accordingly. You will have the change the horizsync and vertrefresh parameters to values for your monitor.On Fri, 26 Dec 2014 09:15:24 +1100, Stephen Morris wrote:On 12/26/2014 07:52 AM, Beartooth wrote:[....]But now F21 doesn't get it, and I can't seem to find a file that will let me tell it there is such a thing as a 27" 1680x1050 terminal.

It didn't, and chaos ensued -- till it hit the abominable error message from the monitor, saying "Input out of range." Clue, please?To get F21 to recognize your monitor you could put a file with the same monitor device sections that you normally put in xorg.conf into /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d. That directory is where xorg reads it configuration files from these days.That file does exist (to my surprise; dunno how I missed it). But it contains only a config file for the keyboard. There isn't any for the monitor at all. If one existed, I could use it as a template for the format, just adding my "1680x1050" in its field, and anything else obvious elsewhere. But I remember only that the monitor file (or files; sometimes there was one that demanded "Monitor0," apart from the one with the numbers.You may still have to put the mode statements in there to get the right resolutions for your monitor. I'm not sure if the man entry on xorg.conf still has details on how to specify the information, its been quite some time since I've had to play around with those.I didn't know man pages could exist for names as well as commands. I'll go study that. Many many thanks!
