what resolution where u running at ? id expect a monitor like that to have
onscreen controls (my 15" Princeton can tell me the refresh) and i'd also
expect a monitor like yours to prevent itself from blowing up by shutting
down if a refresh/resolution is not supported(mine does this too).
I blew up anotoher 15" with similar results as yours by running 800x600 @
85hz when it only supported 75 or 80hz.

it happens to everyone once :)
ssahme >big attachment!!
i thionk the mailing list filtered your attachment out.
not that it matters much, cuz what is important is what resolution/refresh
you were running at not what was defined in XF86Config (i have 6 modelines
defined in XF86Config) ...even tho it can help.
