for all your monitor-related configurations, apt-get install get-edid (or is it read-edid ??) then read-edid | parse-edid (or is it get-edid | parse-edid ??) So you'll get what you have to put in your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 so that X will use your monitor (and video card ! it has to be capable of managing it !) at it's best refresh rate. -- I'm an occurence of the I love GNU virus. Please help me spread.
