Has Fedora removed the time-honored /etc/rc.local script/symlink? That
is supposed to be the thing that gets run after all the other scripts
execute. (At least that's how it was in SysV, don't know what sort of
bizarre weirdness the systemd people are doing.)

I thought that killing your monitor by setting invalid modelines was a
problem only for CRTs, and then only for some old CRTs that didn't have
hardwired sync limits. I Could Be Wrong. My own fiddling with custom
modelines on LCDs caused nothing worse than the LCD not displaying
anything until I put a modeline that worked in. YMMV.
