Configure Unknown Monitors Xorg

Posted about 1 year ago

I recently had to configure Xorg to run a 40" LCD monitor. The monitor did not seem to support EDID queries. To my understanding this is essentially a protocol that most monitors support to explain what modes they support and give general information about the monitor.

After a little Google searching and not finding anything on the model number of the unit which is 40LC45S. I eventually found this this modeline generator in this link. All you need to know are the resolution and refresh rate combination(s).
