custom edid setup

i have been trying to setup new monitor (Samsung E2420L) using a xorg. conf file and a 128 bit edid binary.
the reason - there is a KVM switch blocking the edid from the monitor.
i would like use a custom edid argument in the xorg.conf file and binary file because this is the first step in setting up a two monitor setup with a twin view KVM in the loop.

video card - nvidia 9400 GT.
nvidia driver 295.49 installed
used the nvidia gui to generate the 128 bit edid binary file
this is my xorg.conf file… (it boots straight into run level 3) path is /etc/X11/xorg.conf

this is my 50-monitor.conf - file also… path is /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d

any help would be great!
respectifuly olefat

I note you have

Option         "CustomEDID" "vga0:/home/us/x11files/edid1.bin"

Case is important, and are you sure that this is the correct display device? For example, if trying to configure CRT-0, then you’d need something like

Option         "CustomEDID" "CRT-0:/home/us/x11files/edid1.bin"

You’ll have to look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log for any errors that the X-server reports

yes i am aware that linux is very case sensitive.
however i am very dyslexic.
still booting to run level 3. if i login as su and delete xorg.conf then reboot i atleast get a GUI desktop @ a crappy resouliton of 1024x768

still hoping you can see what i am missing!

M. Russell

Ps… direct coulpled to the computer the monitor/suse desktop is stunning. i am in for the long haul. i want this to work!

Please don’t post your output like that here

  1. Use code tags. Enclose your output within these. (Use the advanced editor, and use the ‘#’ icon or type with capitals
......[/CO..]).

2. For lengthy output, you should upload to [SUSE Paste](http://paste.opensuse.org/), then post only the URL link to it here.

I note that these lines do not appear to be processed (ie don’t appear in Xorg.0.log)

Option       "UseEdid" "false"
    Option         "NoDCC"   "true"
    Option         "CustomEDID" "CRT-1:/home/us/x11files/edid1.bin"

You have some syntax errors in any case. The first line should be

Option "UseEDID" "false"

Though, I’m not sure it that will counter your ‘customEDID’ entry.

The second line is deprecated, but the correct syntax should be

Option         "NoDDC"   "true"

I recommend you read these threads and follow the approach used there to create a minimal working xorg.conf:
