It is not listed in the Red Hat 6.0 list.
How would I know which is a similar model (I assume "modem" was a typo)?
I actually have two computers now and two new monitors. I was considering
switching the monitors to see if that would work. My old monitor was a 15"
MAG. The new one I am using is called Vision Graphic and is made in
Taiwan. The booklet says that it is a 17" high resolution multi-scan color
monitor, a Class B digital device. The general description says that it
is a microprocessor controlled multi-frequency system device compatible
with many standard graphic formats including VGA, SVGA and XGA. The
resolution is up to 1280x1024 pixels. It has support for graphic cards
with VESA compatible DDC1/2B (Display Data Channel 1/2B) interface for
monitor-to-PC communication. The pixel rate is 110 MHz.
Video Signal -- RGB Analogue 0.7 Vpp 75 Ohms
Sync. Signal -- H/V Separated, TTL
Level Positive or Negative
Scanning Frequency -- 30 KHz to 70 KHz for Horizontal
50 Hz to 120 Hz for Vertical
The other monitor is an Acer 77c, which is also not listed, although many
other Acer varieties are listed.
The specifications for this one are:
17"
Maximum Resolution: 1280x1024
Horizontal Frequency 30 - 72 KHz
Vertical Frequency 50 - 120 Hz
Video Bandwidth 100 MHz
My video card is Diamond Stealth 64 DRA

I don't recall this being a possibility in the Xconfigurator menu.

I remember this being an entry when I originally installed Linux, but this
is not part of the Xconfigurator menu. Excuse me for being obtuse, but I
can't remember the name of the program I would have to access to get to
this.
Thanks again in advance,
