My monitor has NOTHING on the outside of the case to indicate what
model it is, so I would not be able to do this. All there is is the
single word "PROJECT". Windoze 98 interrogates its plug & play data
and identifies it as an ADI MS-5P+. I have since seen a non-rebranded
ADI MS-5P+ and indeed it looks identical.
It would be useful to pure Linux users - possibly including the OP -
if there was some Linux tool that did this, so xf86config et al. could
say "Your monitor appears to be an ADI MS-5P+, accept/change" or
something like that, combined of course with a file listing many
different monitors' capabilities.
