We all know that, Bill - that's why I'm here, too. (No, not your ignorance, mine! :-)
You had mentioned earlier that it not only changed resolution, but revereted to analog monitor. I don't know if this will help, but have you run kudzu? Check /etc/sysconfig/hwconf. /VIDEO/
It's only connected via the analog cable. First, outside of GNOME, it works in full wide screen mode, so I don't think that's it, and second, I don't know if there is enough advantage to invest in a DVI cable.
I'll look, though, tonight, when I get a chance.
You should see your new monitor in there. I don't know enough to know if this has an effect though. I presume that when X terminates, the driver is unloaded. When it starts up again, the driver would be reloaded. I don't know if DDC gets involved here or not.
Based on the comments that get inserted in my xorg.conf file by the nvidia xconfig, I'm guessing no since I have specified the frequency ranges (from the manual), and when I didn't, it still didn't work.
Check your X logs (/var/log/X.[0-9].log for messages.
Good point....
Thanks.
