Same suggestion as already posted:
"with # dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 .or. xserver--xorg
gives you that opportunity."
: with the additional suggestion that you find out what horizontal sync
and vertical refresh your monitor is capable of before you reconfigure
so that when you get to the monitor configuration step you can choose
advanced and type in the correct ranges for example:
HorizSync 31-85
VertRefresh 50-160
: are the numbers for my monitor (ViewSonic 21PS).
If you have the documentation for the monitor these numbers should be
in there, could be on a sticker on the monitor as well, if not google
for it.
Later, Seeker
