I've been given the go-ahead to help hack X / kickstart so we can get this working. I just need to know who i contact for getting this into kickstart and X... (Also where to start... is it just Kickstart that isn't rebust enough... or is X the problem?)
I think all the tools (DrakX / XFdrake) use the same library code, so either it's that (if XFdrake doesn't do the right thing if you take all the defaults) or it's DrakX (if XFdrake does the right thing but the kickstart stuff doesn't), or the ddxinfo is wrong, which you can tell by looking at the output of 'ddcxinfos'.

Looks like ddcxinfos is working. The machines that are not being configed correctly do have full ddc info... Not only that but a huge list of modelines. I guess somthing needs to be done in XFdrake / Drakx.
This helps with the Analog side... what about digital flat panels? Do they send resolution info the same way?
Thanks for the pointer, I now see the problem isn't with the monitor not providing the needed info - it's kickstart not using the info. Now I can concentrate on patches to get kickstart fully automated for X!
