but how do you FIGURE OUT WHICH RESOLUTIONS your monitor can
handle?  i've tried xvidtune, xf86cfg, xf86config,
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86, discover read-edid (major
lockup, there), xviddetect, XFree86 -configure...

all i can get is 800x600 which ain't much. :(

i've googled for MEMOREX-TELEX (CDS-4583) and haven't found much
in the way of answers for horiz/vert refresh or clock speeds.
anybody know of a site somewhere that's got a collection of that
kind of info?
