Ok, I understand your predicament a little better.
Firstly, try using "cvt", it uses the coordinated video timing specificaton from VESA: # ./cvt 2560 1600 # 2560x1600 59.99 Hz (CVT 4.10MA) hsync: 99.46 kHz; pclk: 348.50 MHz Modeline "2560x1600_60.00" 348.50 2560 2760 3032 3504 1600 1603 1609 1658 -hsync +vsyn Also need to add to the monitor section: option "Preferred Mode" "2560x1600_60.00 and skip the failing EDID probe with: option "NoDDC" "true" It is the KVM unit that is blocking your system from auto-configuring. If you can plug the monitor directly into the system, you will see autoconfig working. While you're there, dump the EDID data (Some drivers, like the ATI, dump EDID into Xorg.0.log) A wealth of information on this: http://blogs.sun.com/moinakg/entry/grabbing_monitor_edid_data_on Stuart Lars Tunkrans wrote: > Skk Wrote: > >> Lars: >> You should not need to do this.
