From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6b) Gecko/20040105 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.
