Thanks for the ideas. "video=VGA-1:1920x1080@60" (as indicated by xrandr) didn't work well. The text console showed 2 copies of the screen side-by each. Imagine working with the "screen" or "tmux" program, or the vim ":vsplit" command. And it was offset 3/4 inch down and to the right. X Window showed only one image, but the down and right shift was still there. I couldn't see the autoraising menubar at the bottom of the screen in ICEWM, so it was unusable.
"video=VGA-1:1920x1080@60m", where the "m" is to allow some margin in the calculations, got rid of the double image in text console, but the down and right shift was still there in both the text console, and X. I tried sticking "xrandr -s 1920x1080" in my .xinitrc. It "works", but the fonts are noticably "fatter" after a disconnected boot versus a connected boot. I ran "cp /sys/class/drm/card0/card0-VGA-1/edid my_edid.bin" and I'll try loading it in the kernel later today. -- Walter Dnes <[email protected]> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
