Hacking Xorg.conf

Ok, for some reason (probably because I'm using an old KVM switch) my Fedora 16 system is not detecting what monitor I have and is refusing to give me a usable resolution. I have a Dell E2210H wide-screen monitor and it's capable of 1920x1080 resolution, but I can't get that in Fedora. Under Windows, the monitor is also not identified, but I AM able to get the maximum resolution. I have hacked my xorg.conf in an attempt to get it to display, but it's still not working. Here's a copy of my xorg.conf (I copied it over the nvidia- xorg.conf after backing up the nvidia-xorg file as well.): # RPM Fusion - nvidia-xorg.conf # Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor1" VendorName "Dell" ModelName "E2210H" HorizSync 30.0 - 83.0 VertRefresh 50.0 - 75.0 Modeline "1920x1080@75" 148.5 1920 1952 2896 2928 1080 1101 1114 1135 EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen" Monitor "Monitor1" Device "Videocard0" DefaultDepth 24 EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard0" Driver "nvidia" EndSection Here's the log file: [ 20.942] X.Org X Server 1.11.2 Release Date: 2011-11-04 [ 20.943] X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 [ 20.943] Build Operating System: x86-12 2.6.32-131.17.1.el6.x86_64 [ 20.943] Current Operating System: Linux slave1.aldrich 3.1.2-1.fc16.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Nov 22 09:00:57 UTC 2011 x86_64 [ 20.943] Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-3.1.2-1.fc16.x86_64 root=UUID=42f98883-c248-4e0a-9e06-7ead55757387 ro rd.md=0 rd.lvm=0 rd.dm=0 KEYTABLE=us quiet SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 rhgb rd.luks=0 LANG=en_US.UTF-8 [ 20.943] Build Date: 10 November 2011 07:40:04PM [ 20.943] Build ID: xorg-x11-server 1.11.2-3.fc16 [ 20.943] Current version of pixman: 0.22.2 [ 20.943] Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org to make sure that you have the latest version.
