It's waiting for a detailed timing description to be provided on its standard input. > $ /opt/SUNWut/sbin/utresdef -a -c "Dell 2007FPW" [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1680x1050 > <<EOF > htotal=2256 > hfp=104 > hsyncwidth=184 > vtotal=1087 > vfp=1 > vsyncwidth=3 > vcomposite=8 > pixclock=14714 > xres=1680 > yres=1050 > hz=60 > EOF > > But being rather thick could not get enter this command so it would > actually be executed.

The '<< EOF' on the command line means (to most shells) "read from standard input until you see the string EOF at the start of a line, and feed everything you've read up to that point into the command's standard input". The problem here is that your EOF is not at the start of the line, it's indented, so the shell doesn't recognise it as the end-of-input marker. You can feed the timing definition (the lines from 'htotal' to 'hz' inclusive) into 'utresdef' in whatever way is most convenient. If the '<<' thing (called a "here document") is too weird then you could put those lines into a file and feed the contents of that file into 'utresdef' by using a '<' redirection, or you could use 'cat' to pipe the file contents into utresdef, or you could just run 'utresdef' and then type (or copy+paste) the lines followed by a Control+D to indicate end-of-input. > One thing seems strange which is "utresdef -o" outputs nothing. That's a solid indication that 'utresdef' has not yet accepted any timing definitions. > PS I am considering an upgrade to SRSS 4.0 soon, would that help? Yes, it would. SRSS 4.0 has a [EMAIL PROTECTED] timing baked into its firmware. A SR1g, SR2 or SR2FS unit running 4.0 firmware should automatically drive this monitor at 1680x1050.
