Its a crappy old 15" that buzzes ..
So it buzzes an hour or two until you finish installing. Is that a real problem?
And then I carry the machine up from the basement and plug it in in the office with the 'production' setting, the LCD, and ... well, no, it won't see the EDID and settles for 800x600 and won't shift. I've tried editing the boot line, the grub/gfxboot and the xorg.conf to include 1024, 1280 with various modelines. NADA.
So this isn't about installation any more? If so, you should be using either xorg.conf or xorg.conf.d/, but not both, unless you're really up on how they work together or not. What's your video chip, and if not Intel, which driver is actually used according to Xorg.0.log? Try http://fm.no-ip.com/Share/xorg.conf-minimal-EDID-workaround and if it doesn't help as is, uncomment the refresh and/or sync lines. Or, instead of xorg.conf, use that file as a guide to configuring via xorg.conf.d/.
No, this LG is solid. As I say, it works just fine with Fedora 15 though 17.
Today? Or a month or three ago?
When I look at the boot command line I see edd=off highres=off nomodeset nohz=off Now why did it put all that in there?
If in the default kernel stanza, they may have been what were used for installation with the old CRT. Normally they only show up on installed systems in failsafe stanzas. Maybe it's time you examined your Grub menu file, and /etc/sysconfig/bootloader. It could be you are suffering from a mangled bootloader installation and/or configuration. Nomodeset is a fallback/failsafe that is capable of causing more trouble than it solves.
I just tried editing the command line as you suggested. No change.
Try an opposite editing approach: delete everything on the kernel line except "kernel vmlinuz-3.4.6-xxx-desktop", and at least try without using any xorg.conf* if you get booted without the LCD going to sleep. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
