So you are saying that should leave this section of the config file commented out for better compatibility? I have commented it out for now anyway, as I haven't added the code in the installer to grab the values from the EDID yet. I can just as easily leave it off (Red Hat 8.0 seems ot get it directly from DDC when it is not in the config file anyway). Regards, --- Kendall Bennett Chief Executive Officer SciTech Software, Inc.
