I did that. It still does not work. I know the Monitor vert/hort parameters and entered it, but it still will not recognize it. Note that I had to use the Fedora Rescue CD in order to modify the xorg.conf by hand. I note that FC4 does not use the script: 'system-config-display' but instead uses a Python script. Will it still work? I am trying this now... and will let you know if it will work. I am sad to report, that you cannot run the 'system-config-display' because it requires that the X11 system be running. Sheesh... is this the cart before the horse? Why in God's name did "they" change to use Python from FC3 to FC4 so now there is no curses based-scripts to configure the darn thing? What do I do now? -- ======================================================================= IF I HAD A MINE SHAFT, I don't think I would just abandon it.
