Description of problem:
I have a monitor hooked up via a KVM switch which unfortunately does
not propagate DDC queries.  In FC2test3, this results in a neverending
loop since the system insists on every single boot that my X is not
configured.  It leaves a couple of lines in /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

 ### Uncomment if you don't want to default to DDC:
#       HorizSync    31.5 - 67.0
#        VertRefresh  50.0 - 65.0

Unfortunately, even if I uncomment these manually (which makes X11
work), it still comes back on the next boot and wants me to
reconfigure X11 once again, ad nauseam.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
system-config-display-1.0.13-3

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Fedora with a non-DDC monitor.
2.
3.
    

Additional info:

I recommend adding a check box to the monitor selection "don't use
DDC"; additionally, whatever it is that tries to detect if the monitor
has changed must respect that and not try over and over to ask for
reconfiguration.

Duplicate of #120950 about the DDC commented problem.. but interesting
idea for enhancement for the tool.
