Thanks for your help.. however I have had too many problems with Fedora recently for fundamentally easy things and Ubuntu was no better... I know there are fixes for these issues but I just do not have the time to spend two days trying to get my 22" monitor to work...when in Windows it works in about 15 seconds... I will keep using Fedora however it will be in a VM machine under windows for now...
when I bought my E207WFP it took me the same 15 seconds to run nvidia-settings and make it autodetect ...
I recently set up a whole bunch of computers with E207WFP displays, most using onboard graphics with the Intel 965 chipset.
I had to use OpenSuse for the more recent (pre)release of Xorg, including an "i810beta" driver. OpenSuse handled all components well, except for the front sound connections.
I couldn't get Fedora 6 to work with the graphics.
On a couple of similar computers with Nvidia graphics cards, the monitors were handled fine. However, Fedora 6 needed lots of kernel parameters to handle optical drives ans such. (One is still running F6.) Some of these issues are long-standing and they are a black mark on Fedora.
The Windows Vista installations didn't handle the graphics either; they needed driver updates from the Intel website to handle the displays. The second Vista install didn't work even with a download (slightly different driver version). It was only a few days ago that I got a yet-newer driver and the display resolution got straightened out. So Windows has trouble too.
