True, the proper set of capitals to use here would be DDC/EDID. Most, if not all graphics card drivers in xorg now support the Option "IgnoreEDID" <bool> (to go into Section "Device") which implies that by default, they should use EDID data for determining the display size / DPI. I'm pretty sure I'm not completely imagining the requirement for the dpms option to make that actually work though, but perhaps it's no longer the case, or it's another one of those config parser bloopers. -- ,_, | Michael Nottebrock | lofi@freebsd.org (/^ ^\) | FreeBSD - The Power to Serve | http://www.freebsd.org \u/ | K Desktop Environment on FreeBSD | http://freebsd.kde.org [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBDDO2SXhc68WspdLARAi88AKCfDbi3IjOR40VJ1jf8CNJ0KdgHgQCeLZ4w fyY0rzCqVe9ysWKeRCmCn2A= =7FPm -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
