If you're plugging it back in to the same machine that it was plugged into before, and you hadn't plugged a different monitor in to that machine in the meantime, I'm starting to suspect that it might be something you did to it. Have you tried using it on a different machine?

Well not H/W, but it don't work (DVI) on other earlier OS's on
different partitions (only sharing the /home). It also dont work on an
old XP professional partition.

I just tried VGA connector and that works bl**dy awful resolution, I am
on it now!
The "Display" now shows "Unknown" monitor at 1024x768 but it still looks
awful (not exact screen pixel count I assume)

Is the mode line only relevant for DVI as I have lost my "Nits"!!!?

Ordered a new monitor so this one might be going very cheap!!


Will have a last try this weekend but I have now noticed problems with
Gnome and fedora 22 Wayland not being able to cut and past from
documents into a terminal - but that's for another day.
