4.7.2 Overriding DDC


If the monitor being used supports the DDC2B/EDID protocol, the
default resolutions will be determined using the Auto-Detect
feature. By default, the X server will start with the resolution that
DDC has reported. If the monitor is not DDC enabled, the
resolution defined in the

xorg.conf

file will be used.


To override or disable DDC mode, the

“DDCCheck” “off”

option must be uncommented in the

“Device” Section

in the

xorg.conf

file. It must be uncommented prior to starting the

Xserver for changes to take effect. By default, the

“DDCCheck”

“off”

option is commented out, so DDC is used.


When overriding DDC, the desired resolution should be defined in
the

xorg.conf

file. In addition, if you want to use a digital signal,

the option

Sync

in the

Device

section should also be

uncommented. To specify a particular resolution for your display,
refer to section 4.7.1.

In the example given below, the

“DDCCheck” “off”

option is

uncommented.
