about 15 seconds... I will keep using Fedora however it will be in a VM
machine under windows for now...

when I bought my E207WFP it took me the same 15 seconds to run
nvidia-settings and make it autodetect ...

I recently set up a whole bunch of computers with E207WFP displays,
most using onboard graphics with the Intel 965 chipset.

I had to use OpenSuse for the more recent (pre)release of Xorg,
including an "i810beta" driver. OpenSuse handled all components
well, except for the front sound connections.

I couldn't get Fedora 6 to work with the graphics.

On a couple of similar computers with Nvidia graphics cards, the
monitors were handled fine. However, Fedora 6 needed lots of kernel
parameters to handle optical drives ans such. (One is still running
F6.) Some of these issues are long-standing and they are a black
mark on Fedora.

The Windows Vista installations didn't handle the graphics either;
they needed driver updates from the Intel website to handle the
displays. The second Vista install didn't work even with a download
(slightly different driver version). It was only a few days ago that
I got a yet-newer driver and the display resolution got straightened
out. So Windows has trouble too.
