s-c-d is not coming back. This is the DE's job. Please attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? Xfce's display applet here is showing the display sizes from xrandxr, and I suspect that you have 'nomodeset' or the like so you get a reduced resolution size available. Created attachment 561097 [details]
Xorg.0.log file with KVM switch attached
This is the Xorg.0.conf file with the KVM switch attached.
Created attachment 561098 [details]
Xorg.0.log file with monitor directly connected to computer
This is the Xorg.0.conf file after I manually unplug the monitor from the KVM switch and the KVM switch from the computer and plug the monitor directly into the computer.
When I plug the monitor directly into one of the computers and boot, I can reconnect the KVM switch after Xorg starts and it continues to work fine. What I need is some way to tell Xorg to ignore any information received from the KVM switch and use the settings specified in /etc/X11/xorg.conf (including disabling DPMS and DontZap). I generated the xorg.conf file by running "Xorg -configure" without the KVM switch attached and manually added options to disable DPMS and DontZap. Again, Ubuntu 9.?? supported wide screen without any hassle. Whats in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file? If you remove (or move it aside) does the behavior change? This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '16'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
