    13 +/* This causes the config file to always be written out with the
    14 + * HorizSync/VertRefresh lines commented out, forcing all default X config
    15 + * files written out by this library to rely on DDC. This is not a viable
    16 + * thing to do because there are a great number of reasons why DDC may not
    17 + * be useable, such as:
    18 + * - KVM's which do not pass DDC
    19 + * - Video drivers with no DDC support
    20 + * - DFPs, LCDs, and to a lesser extent nowadays CRTs which do not support
    21 + * DDC
    22 + * - Other hardware plugged into the monitor cable which interferes with DDC
    23 + * - Non-x86 architecture which the DDC probing code of a driver uses the
    24 + * video BIOS, but which that does not work.
    25 + * - various other scenarios
    26 + *
    27 + * Red Hat bugzilla is loaded with bugs reported from savage, radeon, nv,
    28 + * r128, and other hardware users in which this problem causes them to have
    29 + * seriously limited display resolutions because the monitor frequencies are
    30 + * not known when X starts up, forcing them into 640x480. As such, I'm
    31 + * changing this back to the way it used to be under the "if it wasn't broken,
    32 + * don't fix it" principle. I doubt we will every be able to 100% rely that
    33 + * DDC will always be available, so this will never be a reliable way to
    34 + * configure monitors.
