Do you have some setting on your actual monitor-hardware you can tweak? You know how most lcd-monitors have auto-settings enabled. Maybe something there is ducking with your x-configs?
I tried that this morning - nothing seems to be relevant. I tried going form "native" to "full screen" but that just widened the 1280x1024 image to fill the screen, which is NOT what I want.
FWIW, I've seen problems when I've had lcd-monitors connected over a kvm-switch and/or monitor-cable extenders. Sometimes the OS just can't correctly identify the monitor and the only way to fix it is to connect the montor directly to the computer at least once to properly identify it.
This is my primary workstation - no extra connections at all. My machines are so spread out that a kvm wouldn't work for me anyway, and I'd rather keep mine separate for other reasons.
Also, do you have a way to connect the monitor to a computer running eg Windows, just to see it's CentOS and Gnome that's giving you grief and not the hardware?
I can do that, but since it works up to the login in wide screen mode, I'm fairly certain that it is the gdm (GNOME).
Thanks again.
