Do you have documentation for this computer or the monitor?  You can
open up the box and look at the video card to find out what type it is. 
It may be integrated into the board so that will make it more
difficult.  If you have windows installed on this computer you can right
click on "my computer" and select "properties", "device manager" and
look at what type of display adapter your using.  Most of the RAMDAC and
clockchip info you don't need to know.  At least I never have worried
about it much.  XF86Setup is an easy setup program to use.  Just make
sure you're vertical and horizontal sync lines are modest if you don't
know exactly what they are.

PS you might want to use a subject heading next time.
