Forgot to ask you for info about a stepup you had mentioned in another 
thread, " xinit, autoexec, xorg, gdm, kdm, etc.etc.,". I'd like to see 
if I could easily adapt that to GDM/Gnome DE on Fedora 14. Sounds like 
what I'm trying to do.

Also for Greg, when I had done my initial test I used the VGA port with 
a 8ft cable and as soon as I launched gnome-display-properties it kicked 
in the VIZIO with the correct resolution settings for the screen, I 
didn't have to do anything. I'm not sure whether I can change anything 
with that GUI or not.
