Hi,
Today, with many distributions, comes a huge database of monitors with
their models. You could check if your monitor is there, and if not -
choose a similar modem..
Also, don't forget to set up the CORRECT Memory size you got on your VGA
card (2MB, 4MB, 8MB, 16MB etc...)
Also, if you're looking to setup 1280x1024 - select 1024x768 AND
1280x1024, so you'll have a place to fall back to in case your monitor
is not configured well..
One last tip - even if you don't use it - select 8 bit colors (256
colors) - just for a backup in case you have a wrong configuration.
After the setup will look ok, you could put in your XF86Config a line
like this:
DefaultColorDepth 32 (if u selected 32 bit colours).
Thanks
Hetz
