Auto detection also depends on the Xorg video drivers. I recently had a problem with a LCD panel connected to an Nvidia Quadro FX card over DVI. The vesa driver detected the monitor resolution correctly, but the proprietary nvidia driver had problems reading EDID info and showed a blank screen (the end user needed CUDA, so proprietary drivers were essential). I finally had to dump the EDID data using Win7 and use it in Xorg. - Raja _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
