In: xorg.conf

Why so many "Monitor" sections all having the same identifier name?

I think it is legal, but I don't see _why_

Check your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file - I think what X11 will do is merge all the same
named identifier sections (same as it does for font paths) - not sure, never did it myself.

Which brings to mind a request - when you publish a modified file of mine,
please add your name to the "blame list" at the top.

It is released under the MIT license - so copy/modify/do whatever -
Just don't credit me in the top line with VIA.
