My monitor does not identify itself properly for new installations. Past solutions have been to copy a previously working xorg.conf to /etc/X11. This does not appear to work with 12.2 rc1. Could someone please confirm that and possibly suggest a workaround?
Thanks.
You’ll need to check the messages reported in /var/log/Xorg.0.log to gauge what may be failing, and share here to allow others to comment on why the configuration in xorg.conf may not be working as expected.
It’s a bit complicated but here’s something that WFM on my 32bit PC it uses the unichrome driver so YMMV. I hope you’re a KDE user because I don’t use Gnome & don’t know how to for it.
1.Kicker>Applications>System>File Manager>File Manger-Super User Mode
2.Click that at the prompt give root password
3.Once in root Dolphin find /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
4. Open that folder look for 50-monitor,conf open that file
5.Go to where you have your copy of xorg.conf
6.Select every thing under the Section Monitor and Section Modes
7.C&P this to the 50-monitor.conf click Save close
8.Now look for 50-screen.conf open that file
9. From your xorg.conf copy select everything under Section Screen
10.C&P that to 50-screen.conf click Save close
11. Reboot
If all has gone well you’ll have the screen res you know & love
I believe this includes what you asked for.

I followed your instructions but nothing changed. I am going to wait for possible answers to my response (above) to deano_ferrari before I try anything else. Thanks for the suggestion.

Your previous posting of Xorg.log.0 did not show any errors. The only thing I
saw is that nouveau failed to find the 1280x1024 resolution. Please post the
newest copy of the log, as well as 50-device.conf, 50-monitor.conf, and
50-screen.conf from /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/.
I noticed this reported
25.201] (II) NOUVEAU(0): Output DVI-I-1 using monitor section Monitor[0] 25.203] (II) NOUVEAU(0): Output HDMI-1 has no monitor section 25.375] (II) NOUVEAU(0): Output VGA-1 has no monitor section
Perhaps you may need to adjust by associating the monitor name explicitly via a device section within xorg.conf (or via 50-device.conf).
Section "Device"
Identifier "device[0]"
Option "Monitor-VGA-1" "monitor[0]"

Thank you everyone for the assistance but I’ve spent far too much time on trying to resolve this problem without success. Since my 11.4 installation works well, I will wait for the final release of 12.2 and try again at that time.
