 Gary, I'd not come across that before. I tried it (and lots of other 
fiddling with xorg.conf) over the weekend and unfortunately it doesn't 
seem to work. Here's my current /etc/X11/xorg.conf file:</font></font></div><div class="" style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:13px;font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica;background-color:transparent;font-style:normal;"><br class="" style="" clear="none"></div><div class="" style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:13px;font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica;background-color:transparent;font-style:normal;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Section "Monitor"<br class="" style="" clear="none">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Identifier&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "HDMI-0"<br class="" style="" clear="none">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; VendorName&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "LG"<br class="" style="" clear="none">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ModelName&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "42LM620T"<br class="" style="" clear="none">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Option&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "UseHotplugEvents"&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "false"<br class="" style=""
