Hm, is that a Multisync monitor at all? I _think_ I remeber it not being
one. Anyway, your best bet is to go look on Aple's support site and find
the exact monitor specs (horizontal and vertical frequency values/ranges
is what you're looking for), and that using that in your X config.
If it is a fixed-frequency monitor, you will need to build a custom
modeline for it. Google a bit around, there are HOWTOs around about how
to do that.
