The Fedora Project has pushed out its 9th release. The release announcement is one of those fancy story ones, without much actual information, but an earlier email by Fedora project leader Paul Frields had some more interesting things to say.

Should, and Do are two different things. Autodetection is *not* perfect,
And not due to deficiencies in the detection algorithms. Monitors lie about their capabilities and the manufacturers don't care. They just ship a driver disk (for Windows, of course) with the monitor to "fix" it. EDIDs were never more than a pleasant fantasy.

I've never seen someone use a installation disk for a monitor! I've seen generic monitors work perfectly fine on Windows at various resolutions other than default crappy ones.
I'm always funny why Linux guys just simply can't admit that Linux has some major issues that are not being fixed, and it seems there is no interest in fixing them. And we wonder why Linux isn't the desktop of the year, and never will be?
