My KDS LCD will simply display an out of range error with the ranges it
wanted and what was being delivered to it.
I then went into /etc/X11/xorg.conf and modified the config to match.
I had no choice to manually do all this because the GUI display manager
really did not do a good job for setting up my TwinView (2 monitor
setup) NVIDIA card. I simply would not start up X. ALso looking in
/var/log/Xorg.0.log is a great place to see what's happening if you do
have any problems.
Cheers,
Mike
