Support for Apple 23 inch High Definition LCD panel and XFree86 config.

[Terrence Martin]

Hi,

I recently installed fedora core 1 on my system, replacing redhat 8.0 
and wanted to share the work I had done to get my Apple HD 23in display 
to work in Fedora.

By default fedora would not drive this monitor properly at all and would 
always give a blank screen so I had to use a text based install. The 
screen also blanked on boot the first time since the default was to use 
the frame buffer display. The redhat-config-xfree86 and firstboot also 
gave me no joy. To get the system to boot I took a stab and removed rhfb 
(sp?) from grub and that got me to a console prompt at least.

Getting the monitor to display something was mostly as a result of some 
more accurate settings in the XF86Config file which I have attached. 
Hopefully it will be useful in making fedora support this monitor out of 
the box better.

There are several changes, but I believe the important ones are the 
modeline and the vertical and horizontal refresh rates.

As a side note while I am using nvidia's driver I did get a display with 
the default opensource nvidia driver.

If anyone requires any additional information let me know.

Terrence
