Hello,
Is there a way to force xorg to always use the resolution specified in the xorg.conf file and not use DDC to try to detect the monitor? I have the xorg.conf working as shown below, as long as the monitor is directly connected to the PC (Kubuntu 8.04). I need to add in a 100 foot VGA extension cable, which works if I add in while the xorg is running, but if the X Server starts/restarts with the extension cable, it apparently tries to re-detect the monitor and comes up with a lower resolution.
Note I've tried the settings in the Device section I have commented out without any luck - perhaps I'm missing something?
Thanks,
slacky
